3. Course Information

Context: Power systems are complex networks of generators and loads interconnected via transmission lines and various types of equipment and apparatus (transformers, switchgear, etc). An overview of modern power systems meeting present and future challenges involves understanding the fast changing structure of this system, the behavior of its components under steady state, dynamic and transient conditions, in order to be able to evaluate the response of this complex system to variation of loads, and to determine how this system can be controlled to supply the loads reliably while it is economical and safe to the environment.
