Electrical Power System is nervous system of any modern economy. The progress of any nation depends on the safe and stable operation of the system. For safe and stable operation of Power System, it is important to understand the behaviour of the system under various operating condition’s beforehand. This can be understood by doing system simulations for various operating conditions. For doing system simulation one have to build mathematical models or use of simulation software’s. This lab provides an opportunity for the students to build mathematical models of the system components and analysing it with available simulation software’s like MATLAB or MiPower. In these lab students: This lab is useful for the students for understanding various aspects of power systems operation and control.
Power system simulation software models the behaviour of electrical networks, from low voltage distribution networks (typically 110 and 240 V) to very high voltage grids (up to 800 kV). They are mathematical models based on the electrical laws, offering a user interface specifically developed to represent networks equipment: substations, transformers, overhead lines, underground cables, generators, including renewable energy sources like wind farms and photovoltaic panels, circuit breakers, SVC, etc. Power system simulation models are a class of computer simulation programs that focus on the operation of electrical power systems. These computer programs are used in a wide range of planning and operational situations including: These programs typically make use of mathematical optimization techniques such linear programming, quadratic programming, and mixed integer programming.
Key elements of power systems that are modeled include:
