Managing Power System Reliability
Course overview
This instructor-led training course provides a comprehensive understanding of key concepts and practical applications in power system operations, with a focus on frequency, voltage, and system restoration. Through hands-on simulation exercises, participants will gain critical skills for maintaining system reliability and responding effectively to real-time events.
Topics include:
- Impacts of frequency deviations on load, generation, and power flow
- The role of system inertia and governor response in frequency stability
- Transmission characteristics and voltage control equipment
- Understanding voltage, phase angle, and the power triangle in system operations
- Methods to identify and address system contingencies
- Strategies for power system restoration, including frequency and voltage regulation and synchronizing areas
Participants will apply these concepts in the HSI simulator to analyze system behaviors, perform real-time assessments, and practice restoring power systems under various scenarios.
Learning objectives:
- Analyze the effects of frequency deviations on load, generation, and power flow
- Define voltage, phase angle, and power triangle in a power system
- Describe voltage control equipment
- Apply ways to identify contingencies
- Perform power system restoration while maintaining frequency and voltage within limits including synchronizing areas using the simulator
