Transient Stability Analysis with PowerWorld Simulator
Synchronous agendas:
This 3 half-day advanced course covers advanced topics in power system transient stability analysis. Participants will learn:
- fundamentals of transient stability analysis and model relationships;
- navigation of Simulator’s remarkably easy-to-use transient stability analysis interface;
- tools and techniques for model validation;
- detailed modeling of transient contingencies;
- specialized tools for wind turbine modeling;
- how to store and plot results; and
- how to visualize transient stability simulations.
Participants will see several examples of transient stability analysis and novel visualization. A large-scale simulation example will be performed at the end to review key concepts.
Prerequisites
Introduction to PowerWorld Simulator: Interface and Common Tools
Course Materials and On-Demand Video
Slides and recorded training modules are available here for free viewing. A dual-monitor system is recommended to enable viewing of the training video alongside the PowerWorld Simulator application. If you don’t yet have PowerWorld Simulator you can perform most of the exercises covered in these training modules on our free 13-bus evaluation version.
