Power Systems Simulation Lab


About

The objective of this power systems simulation lab iin electrical engineering is to provide students with a practical and analytical understanding of power system behavior under various operating conditions. This lab is designed to help students develop proficiency in using simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and MiPower to model, analyze, and optimize electrical networks. It enables learners to perform load flow analysis using Gauss-Seidel, Newton-Raphson, and Fast Decoupled methods, simulate fault scenarios, and assess transient stability and economic dispatch strategies. Students also gain hands-on experience in forming bus admittance and impedance matrices, evaluating power angle characteristics of synchronous machines, and implementing optimal generation scheduling for thermal power plants. Through these simulations, the lab fosters a deeper comprehension of grid reliability, system planning, and smart grid integration.
