EECE 502 - Power Sysl: Equip & Power Flow

Credits: 3

The purpose of this course is to form a solid basis for analyzing power systems. The course gives an overview of a power system and is focused on the basic concepts and elements that are essential in power system planning, operation and control. The course introduces modeling methods for major components in a power system and the methods for solving power flow problems. Specifically, the course addresses the following topics: an overview of power system and structure of electric power industry; the 3 phase circuits in power systems; steady state modeling of generators and transformers; transmission line modeling; power flow analysis. Lecture portion meets with EECE 418. Extra assignments, and/or final project will be required at the graduate level. Prerequisites: EECE 323, or approval of instructor. Offered every fall semester.
