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, senior standing and consent of program director or department chair)
