Power System Planning and Economics, Power Flow Analysis Course
Introduction:
Traditional power system planning follows a cost-minimization approach while ensuring the fulfillment of demand, reliability targets, and other constraints. In contrast, this course explores power system planning, economics, operation, and management within a deregulated environment. Special attention is given to the aspect of reliability.
The course offers a comprehensive overview of power system reliability. It encompasses the evaluation of reliability in generation, transmission, and distribution systems, and their impact on system planning. Moreover, it delves into the factors that influence power system expansion planning, operation, and management in an electricity market. This includes considerations of system adequacy, security, ancillary services market, decision-making processes, and other management issues.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Apply and gain in-depth knowledge of power system planning and economics
- Discuss the nature of planning in the electricity sector and the hierarchy of electricity planning models
- Illustrate electricity demand forecasting and review the load forecasting techniques and guidelines for selection
- Describe the economic operation of the power system and employ the planning methods properly
- Employ the various electricity pricing approaches
- Determine the value-based transmission expansion by quantifying the value of the transmission
- Formulate power-flow problem covering techniques for power-flow studies
- Perform newton-Raphson solution method and other power flow methods
- Recognize the optimal transmission capacity
- Carryout demand-side management as a strategic option in utility planning
- Discuss the deregulation of electrical utilities including the various issues and approaches
- As well as the open electrical energy markets
