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.

Will I still be able to read my Notices from within my email?

In a manner of speaking yes. However you will not get the entire notice delivered to you in your email, instead you will get a daily digest which will list the subject of the notices, a short summary of each notice and hyperlinks that will take you to that notice on the web.

2. Who has access to notices?


Anybody can access the notice system, however you will not be able to place notices from off-campus.
