  POWER SYSTEM ECONOMICS AND CONTROL TECHNIQUES

 

Types of load- components of system loads- Load forecasting- Load dispatching - load curves- load factor, utilization factor, diversity factors, reserve requirements,

Power frequency control – Generator, Governor & Load models - LFC control of a single area and two area systems – steady state and transient response

Reactive power and voltage control- Generation and absorption of reactive power method of voltage control - Injection of reactive power- static shunt capacitor/Inductor, VAR compensator- Tap changing transformers.

Unit commitment – constraints on unit commitment - Co-ordination equations with and without losses--Economic dispatch controller – security constraints.

Recent trends in real time control of power systems; operational restrictions, reliability factors, deregulation and control – congestion management.
