Course Introduction
The primary objectives of Power System Planning and Operation are to minimize system outages, Load Interruptions and Equipment damage under Emergency Conditions. These goals are becoming more difficult to achieve because of the increasing pressures resulting from fast system demand growth and increased system complexity. There are strong influences to reduce operating and maintenance cost and to work equipment harder and longer.
Modern Power Systems.
Power System behavior under Emergency Conditions, as well during restoration processes, depends on its characteristics as related to real and reactive power balance, and the installed control and protective systems. The restoration process is also a function of pre-disturbance conditions, post-disturbance status and post-disturbance target systems. Therefore, the understanding of the factors involved in power system collapse and in the restoration procedure is crucial to the proper operation of Modern Power Systems.
The first focus of the course is on all the major issues associated with system restoration, including those associated with system characteristics and operating conditions. It is argued that restoration planning and training is an ongoing activity that involves system operators, planners, protection staff and trainers. The second focus is on implementing some of the principles gained in hands-on environment using the EPRI Operator Training Simulator. The students will be asked to carry out several “scenarios” involving restoration from a partial blackout, as well as, complete black start. The principles of top-down, versus bottom-up approaches will be practiced and evaluated using a realistic power system model.
Course objective
- How to organize and train the System Restoration Team in your Company.
- How to develop a Restoration Plan for different pre‐disturbance operating Condition.
- How to carry out a Restoration Sequence without causing unacceptable voltage and frequency swings, both in theory and also using the Operator Training Simulator.
- How to set priorities in carrying out the Restoration Sequence.
- How to calculate the restoration duration given the time delays inherent in each action and operating order.
- How to avoid common mistakes experienced in the industry.
- How to maintain and implement the comprehensive system normalization procedures covering partial and total system shutdowns and Restoration approaches.
