POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS II

Catalog description

Three credit-hours. Three hours of lecture per week. This is a second course in power system analysis and forms a continuation of the topics introduced in ELEN 480. This course presents the concepts and system analysis and design techniques necessary to evaluate the performance of power systems. In this course, fault analysis of power systems using matrix formulation of bus admittance an d impedance matrices is studied. Balanced three -phase faults as well as unbalance faults are included. Unbalanced systems are analyzed using symmetrical components technique. Power system protection methods and equipment are also studied. The course incorp orates the use of computer software packages to aid the analysis and design of power systems. Students will apply quantitative reasoning and modern engineering tools to analyze and design power systems, and use critical thinking to evaluate the performance of power systems encountered in residential and commercial energy distribution systems.
