Understanding Power System Dynamic Behavior

April 1114, 2011 in Orlando, Florida

Who Should Attend Key Benefits for You

Understand performance requirements in electric power systems Know how to mitigate four major classes of power system stability problems Be able to address security requirements in a restructured utility environment Be prepared with defense plans against extreme contingencies This timely course will be valuable to power system analysts and engineers, including Generation and transmission planners ISO/RTO technical staff Operations supervisors Your instructors presentations will illustrate power system physical behavior under disturbance conditions. You will leave this course with an improved understanding of the multifaceted aspects of power system stability and the available techniques for analyzing and improving power system security. Please Note: An understanding of power flows in interconnected transmission systems will be helpful. The course content does not include electromagnetic transients (EMTP-type) such as switching and lightning events. The University of WisconsinMadison has offered EMTP courses since 1978. Please contact the program director, Professor Willis Long, if you are interested in this topic.

Your Instructor
Prabha S. Kundur, President, Kundur Power System Solutions Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada More than 35 years of experience Extensive international consulting related to power system stability Past president and CEO, Powertech Labs Inc., the research and technology subsidiary of BC Hydro Prior to Powertech, 25 years of experience with Ontario Hydro in the planning, design and operation of power systems Proven academic/instructional expertise Short course instructor in demand by utilities and universities worldwide Adjunct professor, University of Toronto (since 1979) and University of British Columbia (since 1994) PhD in electrical engineering, University of Toronto Widely respected and recognized IEEE awards including Nikola Tesla Award, Charles Concordia Power System Engineering Award, and 2010 IEEE Medal in Power Engineering CIGRE Technical Committee Award CIGRE, Honorary Member Fellow, Canadian Academy of Engineering Fellow, IEEE Honorary degrees: Doctor Honoris Causa, University Politechnica of Bucharest, Romania; Doctor of Engineering, Honoris Causa, University of Waterloo, Canada Demonstrated leadership in the electric power industry Current Vice-President for Education, IEEE Power Engineering Society Past Chair, IEEE Power System Dynamic Performance Committee Past Chair, Canadian National Committee of CIGRE and member, CIGRE Administrative Council Past Chair, CIGRE Study Committee C4, System Technical Performance Author of Power System Stability and Control (McGraw-Hill, 1994), the standard modern reference for the subject

Why This Course?

The Northeast Blackout of August 14, 2003 revealed that our interconnected power system is not as secure as we expected. Granted, inter-regional transfers are now much greater than the grid had been designed to accommodate. The speed of the collapsethat last nine secondswas unprecedented. But was it unpredictable? Yes, to the degree that the final critical event cannot be preselected out of the immense set of possible events. No, to the degree that well-known but underutilized techniquesas taught in this courseare available for analyzing power system stability.

Valuable Textbook Included

You will receive a copy of Power System Stability and Control, by Prabha Kundur, McGraw-Hill, Inc., 1994. To quote from the foreword, Of all the complex phenomena on power systems, power system stability is the most intricate to understand and challenging to analyze. Electric power systems of the 21st century will present an even more formidable challenge as they are forced to operate closer to their stability limits. In addition to Dr. Kundurs book, you will receive valuable course handout materials including copies of lecture notes and relevant reference papers.

Ensure Secure Power Systems Operation

Disturbed power systems respond in predictable ways. At this practical course you will develop comprehensive knowledge of power system stability problems and methods to effectively mitigate them. You will learn about Basic concepts related to power system stability Physical aspects of different categories of stability phenomena Methods of analysis Stability case studies Examples of major blackouts caused by different forms of instability The course will also focus on how to address stability-related issues in the deregulated electric utility environment to ensure secure operation of power systems.

Monday, April 11
8:00 Registration Embassy Suites-Orlando 8250 International Drive/Jamaican Court Orlando, Florida 8:20 Course Introduction Welcoming remarks What you can expect to learn Willis Long Professor and Program Director 1. Introduction to Power System Stability Definition and classification of power system stability Conceptual relationship between stability, security and reliability Power system security in the new utility environment 2. Review of Equipment Characteristics Synchronous machines Excitation systems Prime movers and governing systems AC transmission Power system loads 3. Control of Active Power and Frequency Fundamentals of frequency control Composite regulating characteristics of power systems Automatic generation control Under-frequency load shedding Characteristics of local-plant mode and inter-area mode oscillations Case studies SSS enhancement Examples of major system disturbances due to small-signal instability

What Students Say About This Course

I learned exactly what I wanted. The course was very thorough. The scope of material addressed was impressive. All of the topics were well explained and clear. A very good course. It provided very comprehensive insight into the dynamics of disturbances. Prabha is a good instructor, very knowledgeable and obviously has an impressive amount of experience. He explains the concepts clearly and efficiently. The course was organized very well, covering machine characteristics first; then different categories of stabilityI liked the example provided for each case. Stability analysis is probably the most challenging analytical work that I do, but unfortunately I have always felt a bit underprepared. This course will solidify my theoretical understanding, my appreciation of the most used/best techniques, and give me the confidence to attempt to apply them. I came for a general understanding of dynamic behavior to support future work in transient modeling. This course served me well. Without any doubt this course was worth all the time and money. I will definitely recommend the course to my colleagues. I was very pleased with the course. I came in with a strong power background and the course was at the right amount of detail for me. Im going to look into modal analysis for voltage stability. We have been using Q/V analysis and I now realize the limitations of those methods.
