Postgraduate Course Presentation
Power Electronics & HVDC Delivery Systems
+ Latest developments in Multi-terminal HVDC Networks
Time: 08.00 – 17.00 hours: Date: 22-26
February 2016
Venue: Seminar Room 2/Computer Lab
Smart Grid Building, Westville Campus
This course is aimed for
postgraduate students want to specialize in electric power systems and power
electronic systems (applications of power electronics in power systems). The delivery
of this course will place sufficient emphasis on key issues related to power
converters when they operate in power systems. Beside formal lectures,
extensive computer simulations using MATLAB/Simulink will be used for
illustration.
At the end of this course, each student would have achieved the
following learning objectives:
Basic
understating of operating principles of the power converters and equations that
govern their operation in islanding and grid-connected modes.
Understanding
of the control approaches that can be used to regulate power converters in
their active and reactive-power output, and electric power exchange with the
grid.
Understanding
of the major attributes and drawbacks of different power converter topologies
and modulation strategies, and their appropriateness for HVDC and FACTS
devices, and in power delivery system in general.
Basic
understanding of converter behaviour during operation in power systems, including
special conditions such as: ac and dc network faults.
Understanding
of the power converters’ applications that manipulate active and reactive power
flow to improve performance of ac power systems, including HVDC and FACTS
devices.
