Description of module content:

This module dives deep into the details of Power System analysis. The 4th year students will learn the concepts of Power flow and fault analysis through rigorous numerical methods and simulations.The topics covered in this module are as follows: Generation: Prime-movers, generators, energy demand, fuel types, base-load, peak-load, pool system.Networks: UK energy system (Grid), transmission lines, inter-connectors, sub-stations.Analysis: Matrix methods with admittance and impedance modules based on [Ybus] and [Zbus] using iterative solutions of the resulting matrix equations. Perform Load flow analysis and fault analysis of a power system.Operation: Control and protection of power systems, switchgear and tariffs.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Categorise the methods of electrical energy generation and transmission systems.

LO2: Solve the power flow problem and its solution using [Ybus].

LO3: Solve symmetrical fault calculations using [Zbus].

LO4: Critically understand the control and operation of distribution system.
