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 or equivalent, approval of course instructor, senior standing and consent of program director or department chair)
