Innhold

Description of all major power system components and loads with equivalent circuit diagrams as basis for the different analysis. The basis for all types of power system analysis is the Load Flow. In an integrated system operational costs should be minimized and introduction to optimal load flow will be given.
Calculation methods on short circuit and earth fault conditions in power systems including symmetrical component theory will be worked through. Different types of power system unstability will be described together with analysis methods.
