Prerequisites
Power System Engineering
Objectives:
The course aims to make the students familiar with the preparatory work necessary for meeting the next
days operation and the various automatic control actions to be implemented on the system to meet the
minute-to-minute variation of system load in power systems.
Expected
Outcome:
On completion of the course the student will be able to
