Abstract:
The objectives of this thesis project are to investigate and understand
the contingency analysis for power systems, with the main focus on
contingency analysis theories and computer applications. The thesis first
explained the definition of power system security and the effect of
contingency analysis to power system security. It then showed how
power system network equipments are affected by contingency analysis.
The thesis examined the concept of contingency analysis and some
theories. The thesis also studies NEC Grid during peak and off-peak load
periods by using a computer programs, the study applied contingency
outages to the network and gave a summary for load flow solutions, and
also it applied functions that gave suggestions to prevent systems from
breakdowns.
