Steady-State Power System Security Analysis with PowerWorld Simulator
This two-day advanced course covers topics in transmission planning and power system security. Use of PowerWorld Simulator for analysis of system security limits will be discussed in depth. Participants will learn:
- fundamentals of power system modeling and voltage stability;
- techniques for conditioning and solving hard-to-solve cases;
- how to model system contingencies in detail, including conditional remedial action schemes (RAS)/special protection schemes (SPS);
- how to determine thermal and stability limits on power transfer; and
- how to develop a generator interconnection study with a comprehensive steady-state power system security analysis.
Participants will also see examples of automation applications for security analysis and learn how to use advanced add-on analysis tools in PowerWorld Simulator, including:
- Available Transfer Capability (ATC)
- Maximum Power Transfer (PV curve)
- Reactive Power Margin (QV curve)
- Geomagnetically Induced Current (GIC)
