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.
