Course Objective and Content

Course 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 perform power flow, and short circuit analysis. Students should also be able to write a basic power flow computer program.
Course Content: The purpose of this course is to give theoretical and practical fundamentals about electric power system analysis. This course will describe the per unit system, Transmission Lines (Resistance, inductance and inductive reactance, capacitance and capacitive reactance for single and three-phase circuits), Transmission Line Models (The short transmission line, the medium-length line, the long transmission line), Power Flow Solutions (Introduction, scope of power system analysis, one-line diagrams, power system modeling, Power flow analysis, power flow concept, node-voltage equations, classification of buses, the gauss-seidel method) and Power System Faults (Fault analysis, single line-to-ground fault (SLG), line-to-line fault (L-L), double line-to-ground fault (2LG), balanced three-phase fault, three-phase fault analysis, symmetrical components, unsymmetrical fault analysis). Students will also conduct computer simulations on electric power systems using PowerWorld Simulator.
