Training Course Overview
The Economic Dispatch & Grid Stability Constraints in Power Systems training provides a comprehensive understanding of generator dynamics and the concept of stability in power system operations. You’ll also learn how electricity is generated from AC current in generators and the intermediate steps involved in delivering reliable power to customers.
The training course course covers simplified generator models commonly used in dynamic stability studies. Participants will explore modern control techniques for generators that help maintain voltage and frequency within operational limits. Key concepts such as primary and secondary frequency control, or droop control in synchronous generators, are also included. The course delves into power-angle stability and voltage stability (including voltage collapse) to enhance system reliability during load changes. Additionally, it examines alternatives for load restoration using tap changer transformers.
This training course not only addresses generation but also covers transmission by introducing power flow as a tool to determine operating points within the power system. Various power flow approaches, including DC and AC power flow, are discussed. To solve power flow issues, the course introduces methods such as Gauss-Seidel, Newton-Raphson, and fast decoupled approaches. Overall, this course provides foundational knowledge of generation plants, their control mechanisms, economic dispatch, and power flow analysis.
This training course will feature:
- Power generation characteristics, Economic dispatch problem and Thermal unit economic dispatch and methods of solution
- Optimization with constraints, using dynamic programming for solving economic dispatch and other optimization problems and Transmission system effects
- The unit commitment problem and solution methods
- Generation scheduling in systems with limited energy supplies, Production cost models, Automatic generation control and Interchange of power and energy
- Power system security techniques, Least-squares techniques for power system estimation, and Optimal power flow techniques and illustrative applications
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on economic dispatch of power plants
- Identify the characteristics of power generation units and introduce them to the economic dispatch of thermal units and the methods of solution
