Electrical power systems are among the most important and complex infrastructures operated by mankind. Without a stable and reliable supply of electricity, basic services at the fundament of our societies could not take place. Despite operational practices and analysis methods for power grids are well established, the interest on power grids come to prominence again due to the increasing connection of stochastic renewable generation, that poses new challenges to grid operators and the growing interest in electrification to overcome the challenges of the energy transition and energy sovereignty. In this course, we will illustrate the main functionalities of power systems (generation, transmission, and distribution grids), their components (generators, transformers, lines) and provide students with the mathematical tools to analyse power grids (load flows and notion of optimal power flow). We will finally explore the operating principles of interconnected AC power grids (frequency and voltage control).
