Course Objectives
This course aims to prepare the graduate students in power engineering to transition smoothly into the practices in power system planning, operations and control that address the needs of the new electricity business.
Starting with the economic dispatch function, this course describes the scope of the operations scheduling problem, presents mathematical formulations to the problem, and surveys recent advances in optimization based solution methods. The course is also concerned with the technical and engineering strategies that are going to be required in the emerging competitive markets for electricity.
Course Content
Modern power system operation, economic dispatch, transmission losses, linear and nonlinear programming techniques, unit commitment, hydrothermal coordination, interchange evaluation, power system security and rescheduling.
Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
1) Evaluate the significance of economic/financial dimensions of the power system operation/planning due to deregulated energy markets,
2) Understand and solve economic dispatch and unit committment problems,
3) Understand power interchange schemes, power pools and transmission effects,
4) Understand and analyze optimum power flow problem.
