Project Description – Power System Stability EE504PS
You will be allowed considerable flexibility in selecting a topic. If you have interest in a
particular topic please feel free to create a proposal by March 2 for in-class students or by
March 16 for off-campus students; project will be due Friday, April 27th for on-campus
students and Friday, May 11th for off-campus students. Your final report, which should
be approximately 10 typed, double-spaced pages in length plus an Appendix with graphs,
computer code, and selected computer printouts not to exceed 15 pages. If you wish to
wish to analyze one piece of equipment using Matlab & Simulink, the following format
may be used as a guide:
I. Research.
Is there a standard model for the device?
Can you find any public papers describing the device? (attach)
II. Describe the device.
What is the purpose of this device?
What are appropriate applications of the device?
III. Explain (or develop) a model.
Explain (develop) state-equations for the device.
Draw block diagram of the device; use sub-systems to explain what each element
of the project represents.
List parameters, what they represent and typical values
List inputs and output of device
IV. Explain how your model is initialized.
V. Explain how parameters of model might be identified or verified.
VI. Verify that your model works
Integrate you model into the model we have been developing in class.
Create one or two situations that demonstrate how your device works.
Have fun. This is a great opportunity to develop a model library that can be shared. If
you develop a model, please let me know if I may share your model and report.
