Two days FDP on Power System Dynamics and Voltage Stability Studies

The two days Faculty Development Program (FDP) was aimed for college and University teachers in disciplines of Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering. The approach of teaching has changed to a new paradigm, and at presents it essentially laying emphasis on stimulating inquisitiveness in the process of acquiring and assimilating new scientific knowledge and concepts. The teachers need to be updated with the pedagogy for better teaching-learning experience. Moreover, the exposure to tools like open source courseware, simulation tools, and scientific approaches of planning and execution of experiments will enhance the student’s inquisitiveness and understanding of the subjects. Furthermore, subjects like ‘Voltage Stability, Power quality in distribution system, Solar energy’ are getting due attention in the engineering course curriculum. So teachers need to refresh the knowledge on these subjects for better pedagogical approach. Power systems have evolved from the original central generating station concept to a modern highly interconnected system with improved technologies affecting each part of the system separately. The techniques for analysis of power systems have been affected most drastically by the maturity of digital computing. Compared to other disciplines within electrical engineering, the foundations of the analysis are often hidden in assumptions and methods that have resulted from years of experience and cleverness. The aim of this Faculty Development Programme (FDP) was to bring the teachers of Electrical and Electronics engineering onto one platform to update with the advances in the Power system dynamics and voltage stability studies.
