This course explores the computerized modeling, analysis, and control of transmission and distribution systems. It covers steady-state analysis in power systems, including load flow and optimal load flow analysis. Additionally, the course examines the dynamic behavior of power systems, including balanced fault analysis, asymmetrical fault studies, and power system transient stability.
The modern electrical power grid, incorporating renewable energy integration and high-precision sensing systems, differs significantly from the traditional grid with conventional generators and monitoring systems. This course explores renewable energy integration technologies, global and Australian grid codes, the key technical challenges of renewable energy integration, analytical methods, and solutions to address these challenges. Students will gain knowledge of network operating principles with renewable energy and learn about advanced control techniques that enable high levels of renewable energy integration into the power grid.
This course covers fundamental topics in power transmission and distribution, including distributed energy generation, transmission lines, voltage control, power factor correction, and energy storage systems. It also examines various high-voltage equipment used in substations and explores future distributed power systems, such as smart grid technology and renewable energy systems.
