Course Perspective Daily ProgramPower System DynamicsThis course will provide a unique opportunity for engineers in thepower industry to undertake a comprehensive and rigorous studyof a critical area, delivered by the world’s foremost expert in thesubject

The course will provide a comprehensive overview of powersystem stability and control issues and problems. The broadsubject is concerned with the operation of the power systemincluding generating plant under normal and abnormal conditions.

The advent of the electricity market has made this broad area offundamental importance to all participants in the supply network.It is a basic subject for all directly involved in system operationand planning but is also fundamental to all participants in thenational electricity market.

From a generator’s perspective the course will provide insight inthe dynamic behaviour of the plant, its response to systemcontingencies and the role of generator control systems such asAutomatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs), Power System Stabilisers(PSSs), Automatic Excitation Regulators (AERs) and governors inmaintaining and enhancing system transient and steady statestability.

For network and system planners and operators, the course willbe an opportunity to enhance understanding the theory andpractice of system stability and control and mitigation of systemoscillations after contingencies.

The course will provide young graduates with a good understandingof the fundamental of the topic, while Dr. Kundur is able to alsoprovide experienced practitioners with insights and discussion onhigher level issues. It is anticipated that senior industry expertswould attend and participate.

The book Power System Stability and Control by Dr. Kundur(McGraw-Hill, 1994), will be used as reference for the course anda copy of the book will be supplied as part of the course material.

The PresenterDr. Prabha S. KundurPresident & CEO Powertech Labs Inc., Surrey, B.C., Canada

Prabha Kundur holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from

the University of Toronto and has over 35 years of experience in

the electric power industry. He has been the President and CEO

of Powertech Labs Inc., the research and technology subsidiary

of BC Hydro, since 1994. Prior to joining Powertech, he worked

at Ontario Hydro for nearly 25 years and held senior positions

involving power system planning and design.

He has also served as Adjunct Professor at the University of

Toronto since 1979 and at the University of British Columbia

since 1994. He is the author of the book Power System Stability

and Control (McGraw-Hill, 1994), which is a standard modern

reference for the subject. He has performed extensive

international consulting related to power system stability and

control, and has delivered technical courses for utilities,

manufacturers and universities around the world.

Dr. Kundur has a long record of service and leadership in the

IEEE. He has chaired numerous committees and working groups

of the Power Engineering Society, and was elected a Fellow of

the IEEE in 1985. He is the immediate past-chairman of the IEEE

Power System Dynamic Performance Committee, and currently

the PES Vice-President for Education/Industry Relations.

He is the recipient of several IEEE awards, including the Nikola

Tesla Award in 1997 and the Charles Concordia Power System

Engineering Award in 2005.

He has also been active in CIGRE for many years. He is currently

the chairman of the CIGRE Study Committee C4 on “System

Technical Performance”. He is the recipient of the CIGRE

Technical Committee Award in 1999.

In 2003 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Canadian Academy

of Engineering. He has been awarded two honorary degrees:

Doctor Honoris Causa by the University Politechnica of

Bucharest, Romania in 2003, and Doctor of Engineering,

Honoris Causa by the University of Waterloo, Canada in 2004.
