Introduction

This four-week intensive Summer Internship provides hands-on training in power system analysis using industry-grade simulation tools (primarily MiPower). The program covers theoretical foundations, practical simulation exercises, and industry-problem solving sessions focused on load flow, short-circuit analysis, transient and dynamic stability, protection and relay coordination, reactive power management, and harmonics analysis.

Course Objectives

• Introduce participants to modern simulation tools used in power system analysis and planning.
• Teach mathematical modeling of power-system components and network formation in per-unit.
• Enable students to perform load flow, short-circuit, stability, and protection studies using MiPower.
• Develop capability to translate industry problems into simulation models and propose data-backed solutions.
• Familiarize participants with relay coordination, voltage stability measures, harmonic analysis, and reactive power compensation.
• Perform Arc Flash Analysis with incident energy calculation through simulation studies.

Learning Outcomes

• Formulate SLDs and Y-bus for power networks and run convergent LFA.
• Compute fault currents and sequence networks for different networks.
• Set up and run transient and dynamic stability simulations; interpret rotor angle and frequency responses.
• Perform relay coordination, protection settings and time-current coordination plots.
• Analyze voltage stability and design reactive power compensation strategies.
• Perform Arc Flash Analysis with incident energy calculation
• Document and present simulation-based solutions to real-world industry problems.
