Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of the electrical system provided by the courses for the Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Engineering.
Learning outcomes
Deepening and completion of the concepts learned in the Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, with particular reference to the production control systems, electricity transmission and distribution, to the supervision and control schemes for power generation plants, the regulation of the frequency and voltage on the electrical networks.
Course contents
1. SCADA Systems
Supervisory and control systems for the management of electrical systems. The finctions of system supervision and data acquisition (SCADA) for a generation and transmission of electricity system.
2. Stability of the electrical system
Dynamic behaviour of the electrical system. Stability of the system to small and large changes. Study of load and frequency oscillation with the use of the method of the areas. Transient analysis studies by integration of a model with many machines.
3. Frequency and voltage regulation
Control of real load and frequency in the electrical system by frequency regulation; primary and secondary frequency regulation. Definition of the Area Control Error (ACE) and its management in large interconnected systems. Regulation of voltage and reactive power. Model of a generator excitation system.
Teaching methods
The course consists of lectures and exercises, some of which are to be carried out by computer.
