Catalog Description
Introduces basic concepts in electric power generation, distribution,systemcontrol and economic operation.
Course Outcomes
- identify, formulate, and solve power flow problems in electric energy delivery systems.
- assess the impact of the various controls in the operation of the power system and explain the fundamental principles involved in the operation and control of electric energy power systems
- model complex control structures of power equipment such as generators, transformers, and exercise these controls for voltage and frequency control of the power system.
- identify the cost model of power systems, formulate, and solve the economic dispatch problem.
- identify operating constraints, model and solve optimization problems that minimize the cost subject to constraints and apply this knowledge to the optimal power flow problem.
- identify operating constraints, model and solve optimization problems that minimize the cost subject to constraints and apply this knowledge to the optimal power flow problem.
Student Outcomes
In the parentheses for each Student Outcome:"P" for primary indicates the outcome is a major focus of the entire course.
“M” for moderate indicates the outcome is the focus of at least one component of the course, but not majority of course material.
“LN” for “little to none” indicates that the course does not contribute significantly to this outcome.
