2006-04 Simulation and analysis of power system transients
June 12-14, 2006

Objectives

   The objective of this course is to give a good hands-on experience on the simulation and analysis of power systems transients. The course will cover modeling issues for switching, lightning, rotating machine dynamics, wind generation and applications of power electronics devices. One of the main objectives is to provide application examples through pc laboratory sessions based on the use of EMTP (EMTP-RV version).

Coordinator

Dr. Jean Mahseredjian (jean.mahseredjian@polymtl.ca)

Jean Mahseredjian graduated from École Polytechnique de Montréal with Ph.D. in 1991. From 1987 to 2004 he worked at IREQ (Hydro-Québec) on research and development activities related to the simulation and analysis of electromagnetic transients. In December 2004 he joined the faculty of electrical engineering at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Jean Mahseredjian was the organizing chairman of IPST-2005 in Montréal and is the technical co-chairman of IPST-2007 in Lyon. IPST is the International Power Systems Transients conference.

Dr. Carlo Alberto Nucci (carloalberto.nucci@unibo.it)

Carlo Alberto Nucci is full professor in Power System and scientific responsible of the power system group at the University of Bologna. He is author or co-author of more than 180 scientific papers published on reviewed journals or presented at international conferences. His research interests concern power systems transients and dynamics, with particular reference to lightning impact on power lines, system restoration after black-out and distributed generation. He is the chairman of the International Steering Committee of the IEEE PowerTech and has been nominated chairman of the CIGRE Study Committee C4 for the 2006-2010 period.
