ELE422 Power Systems (Offered Yearly)

[3–0, 3 cr.]

This course provides students with a working knowledge of power system problems and computer techniques to solve some of these problems. Topics include: review of three-phase analysis, complex power, per-unit system, synchronous machines, transformers, autotransformers, and regulating transformers; calculation of transmission line parameters, evaluation of steady state operation of transmission lines; reactive power compensation; line capability; power flow analysis using Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson methods.

Prerequisites: ELE420 Electromechanics, ELE 411 Electromagnetic Fields.
