Power system engineers must ensure a mixture of intermittent renewable generation, hydro, nuclear and storage can satisfy the electrical energy demand of an increasingly electrified world. This needs increasingly smarter and more resilient local distribution grids, operating in conjunction with national/regional transmission grids interconnected to neighbours via HVDC or AC (EHV/UHV) interties. This module aims to expand your knowledge on practical issues related to system adequacy, reliability and resilience from different technological, societal and environmental perspectives. The objective is to increase your understanding of small and large-signal transient stability with an emphasis on disturbances caused by switching actions and short-circuit faults. The module will also include the fundamental relaying principles needed to achieve fast, dependable, selective, secure and stable protection, and discuss more recent probabilistic techniques and indices now applied to system adequacy and post-disturbance recovery. A framework for system resilience assessment will be established during this module.
