Description

                  Hi and welcome everyone to our course “Ultimate Electrical Power System Engineering Masterclass”

In this course, you are going to learn everything about power system analysis starting from the power system basics and fundamentals of single phase and three phase electric systems moving to designing and modelling different power system components such as: generators, transformers, and transmission lines, ending with a complete power system studies such as load flow studies and power system faults analysis.

    Thus, this course will be your complete guide in one of the main areas of power engineering:  ( power system analysis )
    The course is structured as follows:

Firstly, an overview on the power system structure is illustrated through the following topics:

    Generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of electric power
    How to draw a single line diagram (SLD) of any power system

Then, the next topic will be about a review on basic electrical engineering concepts to be a quick refresh for you. The following topics will be covered:

    Different types of powers in power system
    Complex power, power triangle, and power factor definitions
    power factor correction
    Complex power flow in any power system

Then, a complete study of three phase systems is introduced since 99% of  practical electric networks are actually three phase systems. Thus, three phase circuits are explained in depth through the following topics:

    Why we need three phase systems?
    Three phase supply and load
    Different 3-ph connections (star-star), (star-delta), (delta-star), (delta-delta)
    Difference between (3-wire) and (4-wire) 3-ph systems
    The relations between line and phase currents and voltages
    Power analysis in 3-ph systems
    Power factor improvement in 3-ph circuits

Then, you are going to learn the modelling and characteristics of generators in power systems starting from the operation and construction of alternators moving to measuring the performance indices of synchronous generators. The following topics will be covered:

    Construction and operation of alternators
    Salient pole vs. Cylindrical rotor generators
    Generator model in power systems
    Generator phasor diagram and characteristics
    Generator performance parameters
    Power angle curve of synchronous generators

The next topic is about transformers and their use in power systems. We are going to discuss how the transformers work and their importance in power systems through the following outlines:

    Construction and operation of transformers
    Transformer equivalent circuit
    Tests performed on transformers
    Transformer efficiency and regulation
    Three-phase transformer types and connections
    Per phase model of three phase transformer

After that, we are going to a complete modelling of different types of transmission lines with assessing the transmission line performance in electric networks through the following topics:

    Overhead lines vs. Under ground cables (UGC)
    Transmission line modelling and performance
    Short, medium, and long line models
    Lossless transmission lines
    Surge impedance loading (SIL)

Now, after modelling and analyzing different power system components, lets move to the per unit system and learn the concept and importance of per unit in power system analysis through the following outlines:

    Concept of per unit
    Per unit calculations
    How to draw per unit reactance diagram
    Change of base
    Numerical examples on practical power systems

Then, we are going to a complete power flow analysis where we are going to know the electrical parameters for any power system under any operating conditions. The following topics are discussed

    Concept and importance of power flow study
    Definitions in power flow analysis
    Types of power system buses
    Formation of Ybus
    Approximate method
    Iterative methods for load flow analysis
    Gauss-Seidal method
    Power flows and losses analysis
    DC power flow method
    Numerical examples on practical power systems

Then, a complete fault analysis is performed on power systems to find the fault current, bus voltages and line current during the fault. All these outlines are discussed

    Definition, causes, types, and consequences of electric faults
    Complete symmetrical fault analysis using thevenin and Zbus
    Symmetrical components and sequence networks
    Complete unsymmetrical fault analysis using thevenin and Zbus

Finally, after the complete analysis of power system, practical projects are performed on MATLAB related to power systems  as follows :

    Project 1 – Stand alone synchronous Generator
    Project 2 – Synchronous Generator connected to the grid
    Project 3 – Simulation of 3-ph transformers
    Project 4 – Transmission line design
    Project 5 – Power flow study in MATLAB
    Project 6 – Fault analysis in MATLAB
