University of Malaya, or UM, Malaysia’s oldest university, is situated on a 900 acre campus in the southwest

of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. It was established in April 1949 in Singapore with the merger of the

King Edward VII College of Medicine (founded in 1905) and Raffles College (founded in 1928).

The University of Malaya derives its name from the term ‘Malaya’ as the country was known as then. The

Carr-Saunders Commission, which recommended the setting up of the university, noted in its Report in 1948:

“The University of Malaya would provide for the first time a common centre where varieties of race,

religion and economic interest could mingle in joint endeavour ... For a University of Malaya must inevitably

realise that it is a university for Malaya.”

The growth of the University was very rapid during the first decade of its establishment and this resulted in

the setting up of two autonomous Divisions in 1959, one located in Singapore and the other in Kuala Lumpur. In

1960, the government of the two territories indicated their desire to change the status of the Divisions into that of

a national university. Legislation was passed in 1961 and the University of Malaya was established on 1st

January 1962.

On June 16th 1962, University of Malaya celebrated the installation of its first Chancellor, Tunku Abdul

Rahman Putra Al-Haj, who was also the country’s first prime minister. The first Vice-Chancellor was Professor

Oppenheim, a world-renowned Mathematician. Currently, His Royal Highness The Sultan of Perak Darul

Ridzuan is the Chancellor of the University of Malaya.

The current Vice-Chancellor Tan Sri Dr. Ghauth Jasmon was appointed as the tenth Vice-Chancellor of

the University of Malaya on the 8th of November 2008.

Synopsis of Course

Contents

Application aspects of power system dynamics and controls can usually be

acquired or learned through industry experience and courses – work in utility

planning, operation, consulting, as well as in power plants. In utility practices,

power system dynamic calculations are carried out using commercial packages

and the two most important aspects of such applications are:

to ensure that the input data and assumptions are correct; an

the output are reasonable/practical and can be analysed and understood.

In utility practices, aspects of dynamic computational methods are not normally

the concern. Therefore, there is a gap in the understanding of computational

methods, limitations, applications, future trends and innovations. This course

intends to fill the gap and a postgraduate course like this would present a good

opportunity for students as well as practicing engineers to explore and

understand power system dynamic computations and perhaps to take up the

subject as research area/interest.

market 4. Analyse security issues in a deregulated environment

Transferable Skills 1. Cooperative learning skills 2. Presentation skills 3. Technical writing skills


Current trend in power system economics study focuses on how competition is introduced in traditionally monopolistic industry and how competition can be made successful. From economic perspective, the electricity supply industry in Malaysia is considered hardly competitive. It is inevitable that the local supply industry must become more efficient to compete for the same scarce resources. Efficiency can only be achieved through competition. This course will focus on understanding competitive electricity market operation so that course participants can identify the most appropriate strategies for the Malaysian electricity supply industry to move ahead to establish competition. Hopefully this will encourage research in the subject and groom power system economists for the country. The course starts with understanding of electricity supply industry reforms with Introduction to electricity industry structure, regulations and the incentives to introduce competition. Fundamental concepts in economics as applied to electricity supply and demand and costs and price are elaborated. Various electricity markets and trading arrangements are discussed next. Description of both electricity wholesale and retail markets are described with several examples of trading arrangements. System security issues and acquisition of ancillary services are discussed next followed by discussions on transmission in competitive market, system operation requirements, balancing and the Grid Code. Issues on transmission pricing are discussed next followed by investments in generation and transmission.
