Abstract
This course analyzes the dynamic performance and control of power systems during large and small disturbances, and the classification of power system stability. The components that govern the system dynamics will be studied, including the integration of renewable power plants.
Objective
The course's learning objective is to understand the concepts of stability and control of electrical power systems, including their analysis methods. At the end of the course, participants will be able to model and explain the response of system components and their controllers during small and large disturbances and understand the participation of each element/controller in the different types of stability of interconnected power systems.
Content
The modeling of the power system and its components is studied first. It includes static and dynamic loads, load tap changers, synchronous machines, exciters, automatic voltage regulators, power system stabilizers, turbines, governors followed by the study of the stability of the power system and the integration of renewable power plants such as wind, solar, and energy storage systems using grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) converters. The learning process is complemented by numerical examples, Python scripts, and computer simulations.
