ECE-307 Electric Power Systems - Analysis and Design
This course is a first course in understanding the components that compose the high power grid. Generation of power; transmission line characteristics, load impacts. Real and reactive power along with compensation techniques. Transformers. Synchronous generators and motors. Power flow. Power quality. Transient and dynamic stability issues. Handling faults, overvoltage and surge protection. Electronic control by high power devices such as thyristors, relays, and circuit breakers. HVDC examined. Recent developments and opportunities in the Power field. A strong emphasis placed on problems solving and representative exercises.
Prerequisite
