Assessment

 

The  course unit  assessment  comprises  an assignment.   The assignment submission  date is Friday 30 October 2009 (by 5 pm).

 

All work submitted must be the individual student’s own work.  Each submission MUST include a completed Blue Cover Sheet to confirm that work submitted is that of the individual student and has no part been copied or reproduced by plagiarism.

 

 

Penalties

 

Assignment will receive 10% (of the assignment assessment) penalty for each day late.

 

 

Faculty Policies

 

Unit marks may be scaled in line with the Faculty’s Policy on Assessment Practices and Procedures.

OutcomesStudents develop an in-depth technical competence in modelling power systems in different operating modes.
 
ContentThis unit covers steady-state network model; sparsity programming methodology; modelling in phase co-ordinates; applications of network models in load flow; short-circuit fault; harmonic and transient stability analyses; dynamic modes of operation subsequent to a disturbance; forms of instability; factors on which the limits of stable operating modes depend; modelling requirements for dynamic analysis; typical solutions; transformation between alternative systems of variables; excitation controller and prime-mover and governor modelling; network modelling in dynamic analysis; requirements relating to detail of modelling; dynamic load modelling; complete multi-machine formulation in d-q axes; axis transformation; numerical integration; compensator modelling in dynamic analysis; contribution of compensators to dynamic response; eigenvalue analysis in small-disturbance stability studies; and investigations of voltage collapse with dynamic models.
 
AssessmentThis includes an examination and/or assignments/projects. The examination assesses the student's ability to formulate models for representing power systems in a range of operating conditions. The assignments/projects test their competence in evaluating power systems responses and understanding their significance in terms of network system design and operation.

Texts

Lecture notes together with lists of references are provided.

 
Books and other material wherever listed may be subject to change. Book lists relating to 'Preliminary Reading', 'Recommended Reading' and 'Textbooks' are, in most cases, available at the University Co-operative Bookshop (from early January) and appropriate administrative offices for students to consult. For first-year units the Bookshop will endeavour to make available photocopies of book lists for individual units. Books marked with an asterisk (*) are available in paperback.
