OPTION-I Conventional Courses with Project

Final Year B.Tech (Electrical Engineering) – Part-I (Sem-VIII)

Course – EE4051: Computer Modelling of Electrical Power System

Teaching Scheme: Lectures: 3hours/week

Exam Scheme: 100 Marks (ISE 20 + UT1 15 + UT2 15 + ESE 50)

Course Description:
The load flow analysis is also known as power flow analysis. The power flow analysis is
essential and important approach to investigate power system planning, expansion and operation
problem. The load flow analysis is also essential for contingency analysis, transient stability
study and economic dispatch problem. So, course deals with modelling and analysis of both AC
and AC- DC power system.

Course Outcomes:
On successful completion of this course the learner will be able to:
1. Develop mathematical models of various equipment used in power system.
2. Apply various methods of load flow studies.
3. Develop the capabilities to analyze modelling of power plants.
4. Apply different numerical techniques to study load flow.
5. Explain the advantages of various iterative methods in power flow studies.
