ELEC0029-1

Electric Power Systems I


Duration :30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :
4th year of the 5 year degree in civil engineering in electricity (electronics)6,5
5th year of the 5 year degree in civil engineering in electricity (electronics)6,5
Holder(s) :Thierry Van Cutsem
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).
