3. Prerequisite (if have any): None

4. Course Rationale:
Power system operators have the responsibility to ensure equilibrium between load and
generation at all time. The dispatch of power must be done economically satisfying frequency
and voltage requirement. As constancy of frequency and voltage are important factors in
determining the quality of power is vital to the satisfactory performance of power system. This course attempts
to develop these skills in students.

5. Course Objectives:
After successfully completing this course, students will-
 1. Understand the concept of transient, steady state and dynamic stability.
2. Learn about HVDC, Harmonics, FACTS.
3. Understand the concept of AGC, state estimation, power system security, SCADA, unit commitment

6. Course Content / Course Description:

Introduction: DC and AC power distribution. Stability: Swing equation, power angle equation, equal area
criterion, multi-machine system, step-by-step solution of swing equation, factors affecting transient stability,
power quality. Flexible AC transmission system. High voltage DC transmission system. Power system
harmonics.

Principles of power system operation: SCADA, convention and competitive environment. Unit commitment,
static security analysis, state estimation, optimal power flow, automatic generation control, automatic voltage
regulator and dynamic security analysis.
