Power System Dynamics and Control

MSc - NTNU

3–6 Months

Masters of Science Programes

Course Overview

The course aims to provide advanced knowledge about dynamic behaviour, stability and control in electric power systems. This will give specialised insight and understanding of the theoretical foundations behind the physical phenomena that are necessary for modelling and control of power systems. MATLAB and dedicated power system dynamic simulation tools are used for modelling and simulation of various aspects of power system stability phenomena.

Main Goal

After the course the student shall have gained skills to perform independent analysis and controller design for power systems based on state-of-the-art computer based methods and tools for dynamic analysis.

Skills to be Gained

Analysis and controller design for dynamic behaviour in electric power systems.
