| Course contents :
| 1. Introduction : description of production, transmission and distribution of electric energy, illustration on the Belgian system.
2. Basic notions revisited : powers in sinusoidal regime, balanced three-phase systems.
3. Description and modelling of the main components, analysis of their behaviour : transmission line, per unit system, power transformer, synchronous generator and its voltage regulation.
4. Analysis of steady-state operating conditions : the load flow computation.
5. Computation of post-disturbance operating points. Behaviour and modelling of loads. Frequency regulation. Steady-state security analysis.
6. Unbalanced and/or faulted operating conditions : symmetrical components, analysis of balanced and unbalanced faults. | |
|  | | |
| Course objective :
| This course is an introduction to Electric Power System engineering. It deals with the modelling and the operation of the main components, in steady-state operating conditions, during a fault, or after a disturbance. The main controls (voltage and frequency) are also described. | |
|  | | |
| Prerequisites :
| none, except for a general course in Electrical circuits | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| Lectures include exercices solved by the lecturer. A personal assignment based on these and using the ARTERE and MATLAB software is then requested to the student. | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| The course is taught during the 1st and the 2nd term of the academic year. | |
|  | | |
| Written notes :
| Detailed course notes are available on paper and in electronic (PDF) format | |
|  | | |
| Assessment :
| Written examination on theory. Personal assignment for the practical part (written report). | |
