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.
