CHS003 – Power System Analysis –

Fundamentals

Course goal
The participants acquire the basic knowhow about power system analysis and its relevance to the power
grid design. (The essential content of this course is also integrated in the course CHP188 Advanced Pro-
tection Studies for Power Networks – System Solutions.)

Main learning objectives Topics

The participants will be able to:
— Gain an overview of the properties of trans-
mission, distribution and industrial power
systems
— Explain the power system dynamic and sta-
ble behavior including the transitions be-
tween the different power system states
— Describe the components and general be-
havior of the power system from generation
over transmission and distribution to con-
sumption
— Introduce basic power flow concepts and
system analysis based on some system ex-
amples
— Model and analyse the power system
— Learn computation techniques for fault cal-
culations
Participant profile
Design, planning and application engineers as
well as consultants responsible for electricity
supply and industry. Technical personnel from
ABB companies.
Prerequisites
— Fundamental properties of transmission,
distribution and industrial power systems
— Overview of abnormal system conditions in
the power system and their characteristic
time constants
— Network equations for a power system
— Description of the components of a power
system from the power plant to the con-
sumer in terms of network equations
— Load flow
Assessment of:
balance of active power (losses, efficiency
and angle between node voltage phasors)
balance of reactive power (surplus or lack of
reactive power)
balance of voltage (length difference be-
tween node voltages phasors)
overloaded elements
reactive power compensation
changing load distribution by in-line and
phase shifting transformers
— Specialized load flow applications
for network control i.e. state estimation, on-
line load flow and contingency analysis
for on-line assessment of power system sta-
bility (wide area monitoring ) i.e. voltage sta-
