Power Systems I

Description

This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and computational methods used in modern power system analysis and economic operation. It covers single line diagrams and the per-unit system as essential tools for simplifying system representation. Students will learn to construct and analyze bus admittance and bus impedance matrices, and to solve power flow equations using iterative techniques such as Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson methods. The course also explores the role of synchronous generators in power control, as well as tap-changing transformers for voltage regulation. Finally, it provides a comprehensive introduction to the economic dispatch problem, progressing from simplified models neglecting losses to more advanced formulations that incorporate generator limits and system losses.
