Holder(s) :  Thierry Van Cutsem
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  1. Review of basic notions. Powers in sinusoidal regime, three-phase systems.

2. Description and modelling of the main components, analysis of their behaviour. Transmission line, per unit system, power transformer, synchronous generator.

3. Analysis of steady-state operating conditions. The "power flow" computation.

4. Control and response to disturbances. Voltage control. Frequency control. Behaviour and modelling of loads. Post-disturbance operating point.

5. Unbalanced and/or faulted operating conditions. Analysis of balanced faults. Analysis of unbalanced operation.
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 normal steady-state operating conditions, during a fault, or after a disturbance. The main controls (voltage and frequency) are also described.
Prerequisites :  A general course in Electrical circuits
Workshops :  Lectures include exercises solved by the lecturer. A homework is requested involving groups of 2 or 3 students, and involving the ARTERE and MATLAB software.
Organization :  The course is taught during the 2nd term of the academic year in order the students to have time to perform their homework.
Written notes :  Detailed course notes are available on paper and in electronic (PDF) format
Assessment :  Oral examination on the theory.

Written examination on the exercises presented during the lectures.

Report on the above mentioned homework.
