PS4203 Power System Transients Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

COURSEOBJECTIVES:

 To gain knowledge in sources of transients like lightning, switching and temporary overvoltages.

 To model power system components and estimate the overvoltages in power system

 To analyze travelling wave phenomena against different overvoltages

 To compute transient overvoltages using Electromagnetic Transient Program (EMTP).

 To coordinate the insulation of power system and protective devices.
