About

You will be able to

  • Calculate load factor, diversity factor and plant factors from load data
  • Apply the equal incremental cost rule for economic load dispatch
  • Classify buses and form the bus admittance matrix for load flow
  • Explain load-frequency control, governor droop and AGC
  • Explain voltage control methods using tap changers, capacitors, SVC and STATCOM
  • Describe the working of load dispatch centres, SCADA, PMU and smart grid

Who it is for

  • Diploma Electrical Engineering students of Semester 6 (BTEUP)
  • Polytechnic students of other boards studying the same subject who want unit-wise coaching

What you need

  • Electrical Power Transmission and Distribution of earlier semesters

Questions

Which syllabus does the Power System Operation and Control course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus for Power System Operation and Control (Electrical Engineering, Semester 6). If your own board's or institute's syllabus differs, the centre follows your own syllabus.

Will this help in the semester examination?

Yes. Teaching is unit-wise as per the BTEUP scheme, with previous-year question practice, MCQ tests and doubt sessions before the semester exam.

Are grid operations in India covered?

Yes. The roles of NLDC, RLDC and SLDC, the Grid Code and smart grid initiatives are explained with Indian examples.
