Electrical system modeling and fault analysis

This course allows the student to understand the structure of the electrical network, single line diagram representation, and modeling of basic electrical system components such as generators, motors, transformers, transmission lines, etc. The student will experiment with analysis methods for symmetrical/asymmetrical faults with real-time simulations.

Power flow analysis

In this course, students will become familiar with the formation of network matrices and the formulation of power flow equations for power flow analysis, while discussing traditional methods such as the Gauss-Seidel method, the Newton-Raphson method, and the fast separated power flow method.

Electrical system stability

This course provides an updated presentation on the importance of power system stability with a detailed classification according to the IEEE Task Group. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of voltage stability concepts, their types, and the determination of voltage stability indices. In addition, the course provides a theoretical overview of FACTS controllers and power system stabilizers for improving stability with examples from real-time case studies.
