Prerequisites: ECS4353
Objectives The student is expected to develop an understanding and
knowledge of the advanced analysis of modern electric power systems and the
skill to investigate the behaviour of such systems, an understanding of the
role of reliability in power systems and a knowledge of the application of
optimisation to the operation of power systems.
Synopsis Economic dispatch and unit commitment, optimisation in power
systems, automatic generation control, application of state estimation in
electric power systems, reliability issues in power systems, dynamic and
transient stability analysis and stability enhancement of multi-machine power
systems.
