Preamble

Modern control theory is a powerful technique for the analysis and design of linear and
nonlinear, time-invariant or time varying MIMO systems. The classical design methods suffer
from certain limitations due to the fact that the transfer function model is applicable only to
linear time invariant systems, and that there too it is generally restricted to single-input, single-
output (SISO) systems. This course aims at giving an adequate exposure in state space
analysis, state space controller design, MIMO system, Non-linear system, stability analysis.

Prerequisite
Control Systems, Matrix Algebra, Vector calculus,

Course Outcomes

CO1 Construct the state space model for the given electrical/electro-mechanical Apply

FOR POWER SYSTEM PC 3 1 0 4

Preamble
Power system protection and switchgear is a subject which touches our lives every day, in a
very non-intrusive manner. Reliable protection of electric energy systems against faults like
short circuits is in fact, the cornerstone of power system reliability. In turn, it is one of the
important reasons for electricity having been accepted as a cost-effective and efficient medium
for transmission of energy (or power) over large distances. The technology of power system
protection has evolved a lot since the era of electromechanical and solid-recorded by Current
Transformers (CT) and Voltage Transformers (VT), by using digital signal processing
techniques. Thus, the requirement of learning this subject has changed significantly over a
period of time and in fact, this subject addresses this need in a comprehensive manner.

14PS310 ELECTRICITY DEREGULATION
PC 3 1 0 4

Preamble
The electricity industry throughout the world, which has long been dominated by vertically
integrated utilities, is undergoing enormous changes. Deregulation is a fairly new paradigm and
just as in the case of other industries where it has been introduced, the goal of deregulation is
to enhance competition and bring consumers new choices and economic benefits. The
electricity industry is evolving into a distributed and competitive industry in which market forces
drive the price of electricity and reduce the net cost through increased competition. The
process has, obviously, necessitated reformulation of established models of power system
operation and control activities.

Prerequisite

VOLTAGE STABILITY PE 3 1 0 4

Preamble

Today the power system is being operated under stressed condition than was usual in the past.
Environmental pressures on transmission expansion, increased electricity consumption in
heavy load areas and new system loading patters due to restructuring are some of the reasons.
Under these stressed conditions a power system can exhibit a new type of unstable behaviour
characterized by slow or sudden voltage drops, escalating to the form of a collapse. A number
of such voltage instability incidents have been experienced around the world. As a
consequence voltage stability has become a major concern in power system planning and
operation. Based on this, the course aims at giving an adequate exposure in physical
phenomenon of voltage collapse, Transmission system, Generation, load aspects and Static
voltage stability methods.

FLEXIBLE AC TRANSMISSION Category L T P Credit

14PSPE0
SYSTEMS PE 3 1 0 4

Preamble
FACTS is one aspect of the power electronics revolution that is taking place in all areas of
electric energy. Rising energy costs and a greater sensitivity to environmental impact of new
transmission lines necessitated the search and application of new controllers to minimize
losses and maximize the stable power-transmission capacity of existing lines. Thyristor based
controllers provides a very high speed of response in power system control. Flexible ac
transmission system (FACTS) technology is the application of a variety of new power-electronic
controllers for both active and reactive power on selected lines. FACTS controllers are
becoming an integral component of modern power-transmission systems. Students are made
to understand about the basics, modeling and control of different types of FACTS controllers.
Prerequisite
 Power Electronics

14PSPH0 POWER SYSTEM RELIABILITY
PE 3 1 0 4

Preamble
Electric power networks are prime examples of systems where a high degree of reliability is
expected. Reliability is one of the major factors in the planning, design, operation, and
maintenance of electric power system. The reliability of electric power supply system has been
defined as the probability of providing the users with continuous service of satisfactory quality.
Power system reliability assessment is divided into two basic aspects: System Adequacy and
System Security. Adequacy relates to the existence of sufficient facilities within the system to
satisfy the consumer load demand with system operational constraints. This subject concerns
with Adequacy Assessment of Electric Power System. In this subject Loss Of Load Expected
(LOLE) method of Electric power generation system reliability assessment is explained for both
single area system and interconnected system. Frequency and Duration (F &D) method of
Electric power system reliability assessment is explained for generation and transmission
system.

Prerequisite
