About Course
This module will provide participants with in-depth knowledge, skills, and competency in the modelling, simulation, and data analysis of electrical power systems.
This is essential for the effective, safe, and stable operation of the modern utility grid with the growing penetration of renewables, distributed energy resources, and power electronic control devices. The module will also focus on transient simulation and analysis of power system networks of transmission lines, cables, circuit breakers, transformers, electrical machines, and power converters. Solid-state power system stability compensating devices and technologies will also be introduced. The course is delivered in a technology-enabled learning mode using industry-standard electromagnetic transient simulation software such as PSCAD.
