Lectures
Thursdays, 11:30am - 2:20pm in room EIT 3151
Objectives
The main course goal is to provide students with a complete overview of interconnected power system operation. At the completion of the course students should be able to develop appropriate models for an interconnected power system, and know how to calculate the voltage, power and reactive power in the system under normal and abnormal operating conditions. Students should also be able perform power flow analysis, fault analysis, and transient stability analysis and to write a basic power flow and/or short circuit analysis computer program.

Prerequisites
Open to electrical engineering graduate students. Basic understanding of circuit analysis, electrical machines and transformers and familiarity with at least one of the programming tools – FORTRAN, C or Matlab, are assumed.
Project
A project will be assigned later on. Each student will be required to choose a specific problem in power system, solve it and submit a project report before the end of the term. The length of the project report should not exceed 15 pages single sided.
