Course details

This course is designed for third-year and final-year undergraduate Electrical Engineering students who want to build a strong foundation in power system analysis. It explains how electrical power networks operate under normal (steady-state) conditions and during disturbances. Students will learn the basic tools and methods used to analyze power flow, system stability, and protection schemes. The course introduces fault analysis, including transient and sub-transient behavior of power systems. Key concepts related to generators, transmission lines, and loads are explained in a clear and practical manner. Special focus is given to understanding system stability and how power systems respond to sudden changes. The course also covers protection principles used to safeguard power networks. Modern challenges in power systems due to renewable energy integration are discussed. Smart grid concepts and their impact on system analysis are introduced. Overall, the course connects theory with real-world power network applications.
