Further information on descriptions Description: Aims:
To give students an understanding of the current and future methods used to successfully operate a large power network.

Learning Outcomes:
After completing this module, students should be able to: Explain the need for constraints within power system operation; explain the place for scheduling and economic dispatch; describe the basic components within an energy management system; carry out simple calculations on the level of dynamic, transient, thermal and voltage security within a given power system; describe the need for 'artificial intelligence' methods within the control room; carry out simple calculations to balance load and generation taking into account economy and security.

Skills:
Application of the information, techniques and methods discussed in the lectures, to the analysis of important topics in the management of electrical energy. Taught, facilitated and tested.

Content:
The Energy Management System: the basic component blocks of the EMS and its connection to the power system via the SCADA data acquisition system. Constraint management: constraint groups and boundaries, transfer limits. Security analysis: off-line and on-line security analysis methods using time domain simulation and AI techniques, contingencies and contingency ranking. Scheduling and dispatch: pricing, merit order and economic operation of the power system to meet demand.
