Provide an understanding that system engineering is about keeping things in balance. Not just the balance between generation and load or between production and consumption of reactive power. It is also about the balance between the cost of energy and its environmental impact or the balance between the reliability of the supply and the investments needed to develop the system. This course will teach you how to quantify both sides of these equations and then how to improve the balances through technological advances of existing assets and the implementation of sophisticated computing techniques in the field of voltage control. It provides an advanced education in control and systems engineering, emphasizing modern theoretical developments and their practical application give a sound fundamental understanding of the principles underlying the operation of control systems.

Name and explain types of power system control. Describe power plants devices for primary voltage control. Describe power plant resources for secondary voltage control. Describe principles of coordinated voltage control. Identify the most important parameters for power system regulatory aspect. Understand coordination with protection and automation systems. Understand requirements for generating unit grid connection. Explain the need for enhancing competitiveness on the market.

Reactive power - voltage control in multi-energy networks. Voltage control devices. Control characteristics of energy processes in power system production and transmission facilities. Generating unit’s technology dependent voltage control capability. Synchronous machines voltage control capability. Synchronous machines testing. Real – reactive power generating units diagrams. Devices for primary and secondary voltage control. Methods for testing, determination and estimation of generating unit’s parameters. Methods for theoretical and practical construction and determination of real – reactive power diagram of regulated and unregulated generating units and its’ site verification. Analysis of data gathered by measurements and acquisition systems for generating unit modelling purposes. Power system protection and control.

There is a split between contact time and independent study. The split changes to a greater amount of independent learning. This leads you to becoming an independent researcher, as would be expected this degree of education process. Part of the course is realized through independent research work in the field of automation and control of modern generating units, primarily through parallel research of the latest scientific achievements and existing practice in order to achieve improved solutions. Study research work includes active scientific literature study, explaining theoretical background of problem, recognizing the disadvantages, suggesting improvements, testing improvements through simulations, organization and performance of experiments, data processing, writing a report and, finally, scientific paper.
