Description

This unit builds upon the fundamental power systems concepts introduced in ENS3206/ENS6143 Power Systems 1. Symmetrical faults, symmetrical components, and asymmetrical faults are discussed. Students gain experience in the design of power network protection circuits and systems. This is followed by coverage of power system controls and stability, power distribution and power quality. The unit concludes with telecommunication, SCADA, and substation design fundamentals.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass 1 units from ENS3206, ENS5207, ENS6143

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Analyse symmetrical and asymmetrical faults of a power network.
  2. Design appropriate power system protection circuits and systems.
  3. Apply control and stability concepts to power system and substation design.
  4. Analyse and conceptually design a power distribution system, with due consideration of factors influencing power quality.
  5. Describe the components and use of SCADA systems and telecommunication technologies in the power industry.

Unit Content

  1. Symmetrical and asymmetrical faults; symmetrical components.
  2. System protection; instrument transformers, overcurrent relays, reclosers and fuses, directional and differential relays.
  3. Transient stability; the swing equation, multimachine stability, design methods for improving transient stability.
  4. Power system controls; generator-voltage control, turbine-governor control, load-frequency control; economic dispatch; optimal power flow.
  5. Distribution of electrical energy, substations, medium- and low-voltage distribution.
  6. Power quality, system performance and operation, loads, resistive loads, motors, electronic devices.
  7. SCADA in power systems.
  8. Telecommunication and communication protocols.
