ELE 5480 - Electrical Power Systems Quality

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This is an advanced course that examines the causes, performs analysis and mitigation of power quality phenomena found in low and medium voltage systems. Topics covered include voltage sags, surges, interruptions, transients, unbalance, power factor correction, harmonic current distortions, and frequency variations. (prereqs: ELE 2011 and ELE 3401) (quarter system prereq: EE 2060 and EE 3401)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Measure and calculate electrical power systems quality
  • Measure and interpret voltage, current and frequency variations and distortions
  • Interpret and explain the principles of power system harmonics, harmonic indices and mitigation strategies
  • Adeptly use laboratory instrumentation to measure and analyze power quality indices
  • Interpret industrial standards on power quality requirements

Prerequisites by Topic
  • Linear AC circuit analysis
  • 3-phase complex power
  • Basic knowledge of electrical machines and transformers
