​EE1472​ Power System Lab

In this lab course, students will gain hands-on experience in the analysis, design, and operation of power systems. They will explore key topics such as power flow analysis, fault analysis, voltage and frequency regulation, reactive power compensation, stability studies, and transmission line analysis. Students will learn how to simulate power systems using software like PSS/E, PowerWorld, ETAB, Power Factory and Simulink, and also conduct real-world experiments with transformers, protection systems, renewable energy integration, and transmission lines. The transmission line experiments will include studying the characteristics of transmission lines, voltage drops, line parameters, and the impact of different loading conditions. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of power system operation and control, equipped with the skills to simulate and analyze system performance using advanced tools and techniques.
