This course intends to teach power system stability problem and handling, creating controller for stability issues on power system applications. The course introduces the following topics: Introduction to power system structures and simulation, Synchronous machine modeling, Excitation system modeling, Turbine-Governor modeling, Transient stability analysis, Signal analysis, Voltage Stability, Frequency Stability.

• Introduction to power system stability,
• Synchronous Machine Modelling,
• Excitation System Modeling,
• Turbine governor modelling,
• Transient Stability Analysis,
• Small angle stability analysis,
• Voltage Stability Analysis,
• Frequency Stability Analysis.

There will be practical examples of each above topics which requires fundamentals of PowerFactory.

The training course is intended for

• Transmission System Operator
• Power system operators/engineers
• Consultants/ Academicians

However, the course should also be of interest to other electrical engineers who wish to develop their knowledge on using DIgSILENT
power system analysis and simulation Software.

Dr. Ahmet Onen received the B.Sc. degree in Electrical-Electronics Engineering from Gaziantep University in 2005. He received the M.S degree in Electrical-Computer Engineering from Clemson University in 2010 and his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech – Electrical and Computer Engineering Department in 2014.
