Modelling and Operation of Electrical Grids - 5EUS5MFR

Goal(s)

he purpose of this module is to address the operation of electrical networks in two ways: modeling and computing methods for power grids operation under liberalized markets.

Content(s)

he module content is divided into two parts:

• Modeling and Computation networks
• Deregulation: network operation under liberalized markets

The "Modeling and Design of Networks" covers the following chapters:

• Introduction to the problem of modeling in Large Electric Systems
• Classification of problems of electrical networks and their timing
• Matrices Power System:
  o Background on graph theory
  o primitive matrices, incident matrices and transfer matrices
  o Construction of the transfer matrices using the "inspection" method
  o Examples of construction of network matrices
• Calculation of load Flows
  o Defining the Problem
  o The numerical methods for solving the problem of load balancing
  o Calculation of power transfers
• Current calculation for systematic short-circuits using network matrices
  o Symmetrical short-circuits
  o Non symmetrical short-circuits
• Introduction to state estimation

"Deregulation" part covers the following chapters:

• Networks operations:
  o practical aspects of maintaining the balance of production - consumption
  ? consumption forecast
  ? dynamic constraints of production
  ? production scheduling
  ? load monitoring and security analysis
  o analysis of the various network constraints
• Interconnections in networks
  o Logical development of interconnections
  o Benefits vs cons
• Introduction to electricity markets
  o History of the opening of the energy markets in France and around the world
  o Reasons for open markets
• Market participants and scope of responsibility
• Market mechanisms
