Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
Master in Electrical Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd yearToute l'année5
Master in Electro-mechanical Engineering, Teaching Focus, 2nd yearToute l'année5
Holder(s) :  Thierry Van Cutsem
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  1st part. Modelling of components and controls.

  • dynamics of synchronous generator : time constants, inductances, state equations, per unit system, rotor motion
  • power system modelling under the quasi-sinusoidal approximation
  • induction machine: modelling and behaviour following a disturbance
  • turbines and speed governors: thermal power plants, hydro power plants
  • excitation systems and automatic voltage regulators
  • static var compensators
  • series compensation: fixed and variable (FACTS devices).
2nd part. Stability

  • power system stability: definitions, relationships with system theory
  • small-signal angle stability: analysis of a one-machine infinite-bus system, analysis of a general system, modal analysis. Stability improvement: design of controllers for oscillation damping, mainly the PSS
  • transient (angle) stability: analysis (equal area criterion) and improvement
  • frequency stability
  • voltage stability: analysis of short-term and long-term instability mechanisms, stability improvement. Demonstration of the ASTRE software.
Course objective :  3rd-cycle course introducing to power system dynamics: modelling, control and stability.
Prerequisites :  ELEC029 or equivalent.
Workshops :  Examples using a SIMULINK (MATLAB) library of power system models are shown during the lectures. A personal work using this tool is requested.
Organization :  Course taught during the first or the second semester, depending on the audience.
Written notes :  Detailed course notes are available on paper or in electronic format (PDF).
Assessment :  A personal work is requested, covering various parts of the course and using the above mentioned SIMULINK software. A written report is requested, with possibly an oral presentation.
