Power System Stability

The three-day seminar Power System Stability provides a comprehensive overview about power system stability and control. The dynamic modelling and simulation environment of DIgSILENT PowerFactory is introduced. The seminar includes a presentation of the mathematical models of synchronous generators, induction machines, loads, excitations systems, turbines and governing systems. Participants perform numerous exercises, in which they investigate the stability of single-machine and multimachine power systems, using time-domain and frequency-domain techniques. The number of participants is limited to 10. One workstation per participant will be available in the training room for the exercises. Each participant should have basic knowledge about the PowerFactory software acquired, for example, through our load flow and short circuit seminar, a PowerFactory basic training course or relevant experience in the use of PowerFactory.
