EE 4480 - Electrical Power Systems Quality3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This is an advanced course in the electric power system transients and other phenomena that cause problems in high and medium voltage systems. Topics covered include voltage sags and interruptions, transient overvoltages, harmonic distortion, and distributed generation. (prereq: EE 3401 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• understand the basics of electric system power quality, including sags, interruptions, and transient overvoltages.
• understand the principles of power system harmonics and filtering.
• use the principles of voltage regulation to develop mitigation strategies for long-duration voltage variations.
• determine what typical problems could occur with the installation of distributed generation.
