Course Syllabus
1. Overview of power system operations and control: background; the basic objectives of security and economics in power system operations and control; the security analysis framework – scope, objectives and implementation; role of the EMS (energy management system)
2. Optimal power flows: review of optimization; economic dispatch problems; formulation of optimal power flow problem; objective functions and representation of constraints; solution methods; security constrained OPF; dispatch and rescheduling applications; pricing information; role of reactive power; application to markets
3. Resource scheduling and commitment: nature of resource scheduling problem; time hierarchies; objectives and constraints; key functions and their interrelationships; unit commitment and hydro-thermal coordination; solution approaches using DP and Lagrangian relaxation; role in EMS; application to markets
4. State estimation: fundamental notions; static state estimation problem – role and formulation; the least–squares state estimation solution; constrained weighted least– squares estimation; measurement requirements; observability; bad data identification/ detection, analysis and processing
5. Electricity restructuring: transition from monopoly to competition; restructuring paradigms; competitive electricity markets; market design; interrelationships between various markets; impacts of restructuring and competition; unbundling; nature of transmission services; congestion management; locational marginal prices; ancillary services; information needs
Students are assigned papers of interest for study and discussion. Each student is asked to prepare and give a presentation on a topic selected from the course outline. Team projects are assigned to work on numerical studies. Grading is based on the homework assignments, the presentation, the midterm exam and the final exam.
Final exam is scheduled for Wednesday, December 16, 8:00–11:00 a.m. |
