Overview
Power utilities tend to use software packages such as Power System Simulator for Engineering (PSSE) for performing system studies. PSSE is composed of a comprehensive set of programs for studies of power system transmission network and generation performance in both steady-state and dynamic conditions. Ongoing transformations of the national grid into a smart grid spurs the need for modelling and simulation of power systems. More importantly, the study of power systems is an integral part of electrical power system design. Inherent calculations and simulations are performed to verify that the electrical system, including the system components, are correctly specified to perform as intended, withstand expected stress and be protected against failures. The level of detailing and accuracy of the models and results increase towards the “as built” and operational phases. For many installations, the models are validated by measurements of the electrical system performance in operation. A validated “as built” model provides significant advantages when used for decision support throughout the installation’s operational phase and for verification of proposed future installation modifications
This course targets Electrical Engineers, Plant Engineers, Design/Selection Engineers, Procurement Engineers, Power Utilities Engineers, Contractors, Consultancy Firms, Sales Engineers and Safety Engineers.
By the end of this course, delegates should be able to:
- Understand essential concepts
- Use PSSE to perform power system analysis, building a case, imposing disturbances, running simulations, and interpreting the results.
- Perform transient simulation
