Courses offered:

E4 231-  Power System Dynamics and Control-[PSDC]
Class timings Content Evaluation Objective
Tuesday:11:30 AM -1:00 PM

Thursday:11:30 AM -1:00 PM
  • Introduces Power Grid Operation Philosophy
  • Introduces Dynamic characteristics of Large Power Grids
  • small signal stability, low frequency oscillations
  • Introduces Dynamic Modelling of Various Components, Synchronous Generators, Excitation systems, Turbine-Governor systems, Loads and Transmission Network
  • Introduces Time-Domain Simulation of Large Power Systems
  • Introduces Stability analysis of Integrated power system using time domain and eigenvalue analysis
  • Introduces the research aspects
  • Few assignments targeted to brush up the basic analysis methods learned in UG and introduce mathematical formulations necessary for developing models
  • Weekend tutorials(for Two months) to get students acquaintance with programming in C for numerical simulations
  • one assignment using C coding for time domain simulation of Power System
  • Three lab experiments + One lab demo for estimating the dynamic parameters of the laboratory synchronous machines.
  • Two internal tests + final test + seminar
  • The simulation assignments will increase the students understanding of models and their interactions, numerical issues, importance of ordering the equations It boosts their confidence as developers rather than the users of so called SIMULATION PACKAGES
  • The lab experiments will increase their understanding of the Synchronous Machine Modelling.The logistics of the Lab experiments will be decided by the TA/s as per the convenience of the students.
  • One assignment using C coding for time domain simulation of Power System
  • Note: The assessment process is a continuous assessment. The weightage will be based on the effort required for the activities. Relative grading is activity dependent. The details will be discussed in the first meeting.

E4 233-  Computer Control of Power Systems-[CCPS]
Class timings Content Evaluation Objective
Tuesday:10:00 AM -11:30 AM

Thursday:10:00 AM -11:30 AM
  • Introduces operational and control philosophy of Bulk Power Systems
  • Covers in -depth the energy management system functions
  • Basic optimization techniques
  • Economic operation of large power systems
  • Unit commitment, optimal power flow
  • Automatic generation control, Impact of renewables
  • Load forecasting
  • Five to six assignments
  • Two internal test
  • final test
  • mini-project
  • For mini-project, the students will be asked to select a recent paper from top Journals related to the topics covered and implement.
  • The Project enables students ability in navigating through the research papers with confidence and establish links to the topics covered.
  • This gives a clear picture on how far they are in learning to “The Publication of a so-called TOP JOURNAL PAPER” and gives them a flavour of what makes a scientific publication.
  • The assignments will increase their understanding of the concepts.
  • There will be some simulation/programming assignments using students preferred programming language. This will increase the students understanding of models and their interactions, numerical issues. Moreover they will be confident of developing tools rather than users of tools.
  • Note: The assessment process is a continuous assessment. The weightage will be based on the effort required for the activities. Relative grading is activity dependent. The details will be discussed in the first meeting.
