EE5230 Power System Dynamics & Control

Welcome to the official webpage of the course Power System Dynamics & Control. This course develops the mathematical foundations of dynamical systems theory (state-space modeling, linearization, stability, Lyapunov methods, and time-scale decomposition) and applies them to power systems to study its dynamic modeling, small-signal and modal analysis, stabilizer design, and instability phenomena.

Course Contents : State-space modeling and the concept of equilibrium, non-linear differential-algebraic system, different concepts of stability, small-signal stability analysis, modal analysis of a linearized system, numerical methods for solving differential equations, principle of time-scale decomposition, dynamic modeling of power system components, simulation of power system dynamics, small-signal modeling of a power system, power system stabilizer design, overview of different instability phenomena in a power system.
