| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide students with the ability to analyse electrical power systems under steady state and transient conditions, to devise methods to protect them using modern protection techniques, and to evaluate their operation and economics. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Apply advanced techniques for the analysis of load flow problems and power system stability. |
| 2 | Analyse and discuss power system protection strategies. |
| 3 | Evaluate the economics and operation of electrical power generation, transmission and distribution. |
| 4 | Use MATLAB to analyse and simulate a power system case study involving load flow. |
