Introduction to Stability of Electric Power Systems
Doctoral School of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University
Welcome to Introduction to Stability of Electric Power Systems
Description:
This course introduces PhD students to the theory and analysis of electric power system stability, with a focus on the emerging challenges in modern, converter-dominated power systems. As renewable energy sources and power electronics replace conventional synchronous machines, new forms of instability are arising. The course provides foundational knowledge in power system stability and modern perspectives, including small and large signal stability, sub-synchronous oscillations, and inverter-driven dynamics. The motivation stems from the need to understand how large-scale integration of renewable energy affects dynamic behavior and system stability. Selected topics reflect recent research and practical challenges in grid stability analysis and control.
Including learning objectives: By the end of the course, participants should be able to:
- Understand the classification and theory of power system stability
- Analyze frequency, angle, and voltage stability phenomena
- Distinguish between small-signal and large-signal stability methods
- Explain the influence of power electronic converters and inverter-based resources on system dynamics
- Apply simulation tools to assess and improve system stability
