Power System Analysis
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:29:58
Abstract
The goal of this course is understanding the stationary dependencies in electrical power systems. The course includes the development of stationary models of the electrical network, their mathematical representation and special characteristics and solution methods of large linear and non-linear systems of equations related to electrical power networks.
Objective
The goal of this course is understanding the stationary dependencies in electrical power systems and the application of analysis tools in normal but also in faulty state.
Content
The course includes the development of stationary models of the electrical network, their mathematical representation and special characteristics and solution methods of large linear and non-linear systems of equations related to electrical power grids. Approaches such as the Newton-Raphson algorithm applied to power flow equations, superposition technique for short-circuit analysis and symmetrical components are discussed as well as power flow computation techniques for distribution grids and state estimation.
