EE 493L Power Systems III Lab

1996-97 Catalog Data: 1 credit

Development and utilization of power-flow programs. Demonstrations and hands-on experiments in the machinery laboratories. Corequisite: EE 493.

Textbooks:

Power System Analysis and Design, J. D. Glover, M. Sarma, PWS Publishers, Boston, MA, 1987

Reference:

None.

Coordinator:

W. H. Kersting, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Goals:

To allow students to develop and run digital computer programs associated with the theory of power-flow and power system stability and to design a power system to operate within specified design constants.

Prerequisites by topic:
  1. ac circuit analysis
  2. Differential equations and basic matrix algebra
  3. Power system modeling and per unit system
Computer Usage:

PCs and FORTRAN-based power-flow analysis software.

Lab projects:

The laboratory is divided into three parts:

Power-Flow Computer Program Development
  1. Introduction to Power-Flow and start of YBUS subroutine
  2. Completion of the YBUS and YCHG matrix routines
  3. Non-formatted power-flow output routine
  4. Formatted power-flow output routine
  5. Start of Gauss-Seidel iterative routine
  6. Completion of Gauss-Seidel iterative routine
  7. Use student program to design Base Case and Five Year Plan
  8. Use student program to design Ten Year Plan
Use of NMSU PFLOW Program
  1. Introduction to PFLOW and input of the New Mexico Power and Light System (NMPL).
  2. Use PFLOW to design Base Case of the NMPL system
  3. Use PFLOW to perform contingency analysis of NMPL system
Power System Stability Analysis
  1. Students design "equal area criteria" program
  2. Students design "step-by-step" program
