4. Generator phasor diagram and characteristics

5. Generator performance parameters

6. Power angle curve of synchronous generators

The next topic is about transformers and their use in power systems. We are going to discuss how the transformers work and their importance in power systems through the following outlines:

1. Construction and operation of transformers

2. Transformer equivalent circuit

3. Tests performed on transformers

4. Transformer efficiency and regulation

5. Three-phase transformer types and connections

6. Per phase model of three phase transformer

After that, we are going to a complete modelling of different types of transmission lines with assessing the transmission line performance in electric networks through the following topics:

1. Overhead lines vs. Under ground cables (UGC)

2. Transmission line modelling and performance

3. Short, medium, and long line models

4. Lossless transmission lines

5. Surge impedance loading (SIL)

Now, after modelling and analyzing different power system components, lets move to the per unit system and learn the concept and importance of per unit in power system analysis through the following outlines:

1. Concept of per unit

2. Per unit calculations

3. How to draw per unit reactance diagram

4. Change of base

5. Numerical examples on practical power systems

5. Approximate method

6. Iterative methods for load flow analysis

7. Gauss-Seidal method

8. Power flows and losses analysis

9. DC power flow method

10. Numerical examples on practical power systems

Then, a complete fault analysis is performed on power systems to find the fault current, bus voltages and line current during the fault. All these outlines are discussed

1. Definition, causes, types, and consequences of electric faults

2. Complete symmetrical fault analysis using thevenin and Zbus

3. Symmetrical components and sequence networks

4. Complete unsymmetrical fault analysis using thevenin and Zbus

Finally, after the complete analysis of power system, practical projects are performed on MATLAB related to power systems as follows :
