Transient stability: machine infinite bus--classical model, equal area criterion,  numerical integration (chpt 13.1-13.2);

 

Transient Stability: Multi machine case--classical model, modeling and simulation, direct stability assessment, transient energy function (class notes, chpt 13.7);

 

Detail machine representation: 0dq transformation, machine inductances, steady state analysis, transient inductances, saturation, machine parameters (chpt 3 and 4);

 

Synchronous Machine Representation in Stability Studies: large scale models--approximations, multi-machine network simulation (chpt 5, class notes);

 

Excitation Systems: phase voltage control, excitation systems, IEEE types of exciters (chpt 8);

 

Small Signal Stability: modal theory, single machine systems- excitation effects, , power system stabilizer, multi-machine systems, component connection techniques, eigenvalue sensitivity (chpt 12);

 

Flexible AC Transmission (FACTS): controllable reactive power generation-basic concepts and apparatuses, advanced FACTS technology, STATCOM and UPFC, application to improve interarea stability (class notes);

 


 

GUIDE LINES for Preparing the Project

 

The purpose of the project is to enable the student (a) to familiarize oneself with the literature in the area of power system dynamic modeling, simulation and control and advance the knowledge one has learned in class in at least one significant topic; (b) to demonstrated the advanced knowledge through application to a power system stability problem; and (c) to exercise one's scientific writing skills using the IEEE style of writing.

 

Topic: Some topic categories include:

Application of the transient energy function to assess first swing stability in a multi-machine system.

Application of the power system stabilizer to enhance dynamic stability.

Application of FACTS to enhance transient stability in multi-area systems.

Voltage collapse, theory and applications.

 

Proposal: The proposal must be one page long (including any figures) and must include a list of bibliography. The student will discuss the proposal with the instructor and make the necessary adjustments.

 

The Project Report: The report should be between 5 to 7 pages long (including any figures, references, and appendices). It should be written in the IEEE  format (double-column, single-line spacing, 10pt font. Visit IEEE.org for details of authoring styles). The report must contain the following parts:

Abstract: About 10-line long (in single column). Summarize the project and the main result.

Keywords: Up-to 5 keywords that describe your project.

Introduction: About 2-3 columns. It must contain a literature review relevant to the project.

Main Part: Present relevant theory, system data, and simulation results, also discuss results and compare them to literature.

Conclusion: About 10 to 20 lines long.

References: At least 3 references should come from journal papers. Use proper referencing format.

Appendices: Include the tedious part of the theory or data in an appendix.

 

The Presentation: A Power Point presentation should be prepared. The presentation should be about 15 to 20 minute long.
