Operation of electrical energy systems
Overall Course Objectives
The purpose of the course is to equip the students with knowledge of operation, control, and automation of electrical power systems.
The course is divided into two parts. Part one deals mainly with power system operation including renewable energy and different power system control systems that is required to control active power, reactive power, voltage and frequency whilst keep the power system stable with renewable energy sources. In this part students will be shown how to simulate these different control systems using PowerFactory as well as how to use different tools in PowerFactory to check for system stability.
Part two deals with power system automation focusing on the different SCADA communication protocols, e.g IEC 608705-101 & 104, IEC 61850, GOOSE, etc., power system automation systems, e.g. SICAM PAS, and SCADA systems, e.g. SICAM SCC. The students will achieve knowledge about SCADA principles and their relation to power systems.
This background allows the students to analyse existing energy systems and evaluate trends towards intelligent systems and components, i.e. Digital Grid, Grid 4.0 & Smart Grid systems.
