Description

This course is designed to give a basic grasp of a broad range of topics that are the foundations of power system engineering. These topics can be categorized as; electrical power system design, operation and analysis. The basics of power system layout, substation layout, and of generation, transmission and distribution networks are covered. Also the structure of the New Zealand electricity industry and the electricity market will be presented. The fundamentals of power transfer and control are presented. Students are introduced to different types of analysis such as; Power-flow analysis. Fault analysis, Transient Stability, Harmonics analysis and electromagnetic transients. In the process system component modelling and operation are dealt with. System protection will also be covered.

Learning Outcomes

  • At the end of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Understand power system layout and in particular the different substation layouts.
  • Familiar with the structure of the New Zealand electricity industry and the electricity market.
  • Understand the characteristics of a typical power system and the operation of On-Load Tap Changers (OLTC) and Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs)
  • Understand the various power system analysis studies (Power-flow, fault, harmonic, transient stability, electromagnetic transients) and know their formulation, application and limitations.
  • Understand and able to calculate Fault levels (only symmetrical three-phase faults).
  • Familiar with the different Power Quality issues.
  • Be introduced to sources of energy and different types of generation.
  • Understand and analyse basic system protection.
  • Be familiar with transmission and distribution systems.
  • Understand the operation of power electronic devices use din power systems (i.e. SVC, STATCOM,…etc).
