EE 547 - Power System Analysis I

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course provides the graduate student with an introduction to the classical methods and modern techniques in power system analysis with the aid of a personal computer. Topics covered include the concepts of complex power, balanced three-phase circuits, transmission line parameters, transmission line performance and compensation, system modeling and per-unit analysis, circuit theory as applied to power systems and load flow analysis. (prereq: EE-3401 and approval of course instructor)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• Describe the elements that make up a power system.
• Understand the basic concepts of real and reactive power, direction of power flow, conservation of complex power and power factor correction.
• Understand the per-phase representation of the three-phase systems and computations.
• Calculate the inductance and capacitance of a transposed transmission line.
• Use line models to obtain the transmission line performance.
• Determine the series and shunt capacitors and shunt reactors required for line compensation.
• Understand the basic models of transformers and synchronous generators for the steady-state analysis.
