Summary

This course focuses on the dynamic behavior of a power system. It presents the basic definitions, concepts and models for angular stability analysis with reference to transient stability, steady state stability and long term stability.Fundamentals related to voltage stability are introduced as well.

Content

Keywords

Load-Flow calculation, steady state - transient - long term stability, direct/time domaine methods, classical model, equal area criterion, primary/secondary frequency control, eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
