Steady-State Power Systems Analysis

Recommended Prerequisites

Electrical Energy Systems Introduction; Electrical Circuits.

Teaching Methods

The unit works with master classes with theoretical exposure of the subjects listed in the syllabus. Whenever appropriate to clarify the theoretical concepts presented in the theoretical exhibition practical problems will be solved. The results of works carried out by students can be presented and discussed in the classes. Whenever possible experts will be invited to give talks about specific topics of the course.

Learning Outcomes

Upon the successful completion of the course, students should be aware of the importance of power flow studies and acquire the necessary mathematical background to carry out analysis and understanding the results of case study simulations. They should also acquire knowledge about the characterization and exploitation of distribution networks, as well as being able to perform studies on power flow and voltage control in radial networks. They should also acquire the mathematical support and be able to analyse short-circuit in power systems.
