The course will cover a comprehensive overview of power system stability and control issues and problems. The broad subject is concerned with the operation of the power system including generating plants under normal and abnormal conditions. The course deals with the various instabilitiesin a power system that can lead to major power outages, and also how to avoid these instabilities using control technology. The course starts with a review of large power outages in the world. Then, different power system instabilities will be presented and discussed in the course.

COURSE OBJECTIVE
The course aims to give basic knowledge about the dynamic mechanisms behind angle stability problems in electric power systems, including physical phenomena, modelling issues and simulations.
