Abstract

Knowledge of power system dynamics is essential for any engineer who is to design or operate a modern interconnected power system. System instability and, in the extreme, system collapse are very costly to power utilities and their customers. Power system dynamics is not an easy subject to teach. What is required is a hands-on computer course in which students can work on simplified but, at the same time, realistic models of the power system. This article features a power system analysis and design package for use in hands-on teaching of power system dynamics
