Generation and Transmission of Electric Power

Catalog description

This course includes comparing the technologies of power generation from hydro, thermal, nuclear, and wind energy sources; introducing transmission line theory-based analysis of power distribution line and its equivalent circuits; applying components in power distribution systems including substations, protection, and low voltage distribution; and calculating the cost of electricity. The course also includes an introduction to direct current transmission and optimal power-flow analysis, as well as an assessment of solid-state controllers for power flow and harmonics. Finally, the course includes a software-based project wherein students you have the opportunity to incorporate project management techniques. View Sample Syllabus
