EE353: Electrical Power Systems

Spring 2017-2018

Course Catalog Description

This is an introductory course in the field of electrical power systems covering the core areas of generation, transmission and distribution. Power
systems are complex interaction of these areas and students of this course would study the operation of interconnected power systems. Electrical
energy is one of the most convenient forms of energy and is used in many different applications requiring a wide range of power. This course will
cover the fundamental concepts in planning and operation of modern electric power systems. Topics to be covered include: Power system
structure and operation, modeling of components such as transmission lines, transformers, generating plants and loads, power flow and fault
analysis. Concepts of Smart Grids as applied to topics covered will be discussed qualitatively.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course is aimed to provide the students a detailed understanding of the
 Different components of the power systems, their operation, modeling and integration to form a grid
 Concepts and analysis techniques used for the control of power flow through transmission lines
 Calculation methods and protection applied to abnormal behavior of power systems
