EE 549 - Power System Analysis II

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course is a continuation of EE-547, and provides graduate students with a working knowledge of power system problems and computer techniques used to solve some of these problems. Topics covered include optimal dispatch of generation, symmetrical three-phase faults, symmetrical components, unsymmetrical faults, technical treatment of the general problem of power system stability and its relevance. (prereq: undergraduate controls system course, undergraduate electric machinery course)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• understand the nonlinear function optimization with constraints.
• obtain the economical scheduling of real power generation neglecting line losses.
• determine the loss coefficients of a power system network.
• obtain the economical scheduling of real power generation including line losses.
• understand the simplified models of the synchronous machines for fault analysis and transient stability problems.
• calculate the internal voltages of loaded machines under transient conditions.
• understand and be able to evaluate the currents in the network for a balanced three-phase fault.
• transform unbalanced phasors to their symmetrical components.
• use symmetrical components for short-circuit analysis of unsymmetrical faults.
• understand the general problem of power system stability.
• apply the equal-area criterion for stability to system of one machine against an infinite bus bar.
• obtain the time-domain solution of the swing equation for a one-machine system against an infinite bus.
• Develop computer programs to determine optimal load flow and balanced fault currents
