Course Title: Power System Operation and Control
Type of Course: Optional, Theory
Offered to: EEE
Pre-requisite Course(s): None
Overview: vertically integrated vs. deregulated power system. Real-time operation: SCADA; EMS (energy management system); various data acquisition devices - RTU, IED, PMU, DFDR, WAMPAC (wide area monitoring, protection and control).
Application functions: state estimation; short term load forecasting; unit commitment (UC); economic dispatch (ED); optimal power flow (OPF).
Frequency control: generation and turbine governors, droop, frequency sensitivity of loads, ACE (area control error), AGC (Automatic Generation Control) and coordination with UC and ED; frequency collapse and emergency load shed.
Power system security: static and dynamic; security constrained OPF.
Electricity market operation: GenCos, ISO, DisCos, bidding, spot market, social welfare, market clearing price (MCP), locational marginal price (LMP), bilateral contracts and forward market, hedging.
Demand side control: DMS (distribution management system), DSM (demand side management), smart grid concept.
To provide the students with the basic knowledge of monitoring and control of a power system in which demand for electricity and hence generation is influenced by weather, human behaviour, societal and national needs.
To enable the students to formulate mathematical models for solving various aspects of power system operation and learning control strategies.
Fundamental understanding of concepts of Energy Conversion I and II, and Power System I.
