Power System Analysis

An electric power system is made up of electrical components to generate, transmit and use electric power. This could be the elaborate network that supplies power to a region’s home and industry through an electrical grid transmission system from generating plants located faraway. Or, this could even be a captive power plant/microgrid which generates and consumes power within the same premises itself. The majority of these systems rely upon three-phase AC power - the standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution across the modern world. Specialised power systems are also found in aircraft, electric rail systems, ocean liners and automobiles that do not always rely upon three-phase AC power. The planning, design, and operation of these commercial and industrial power systems requires indepth engineering studies to evaluate existing and proposed system performance, reliability, safety, and economics.
