Power System Reliability & Security

Ensuring reliable and secure power system is the primary responsibility of every system operators. Recent gird incidents of 2019 have underlined the importance of grid security. As the grid grows in size and complexity, gird security has to be enhanced because the consequences of failure of a large grid are severe.

The course will give an introduction to the main principles and objectives of power system reliability and security analysis.

The course will give a thorough understanding of the main principles in power system reliability and security analysis as well as knowledge of different methods and tools for reliability analysis.
