Description

This course is designed to build on Electric Power and Machines (ENEL382) by giving a more in-depth treatment of some areas (power-flow, fault analysis and protection) while covering in detail new areas such as reliability assessment, power quality, electromagnetic transients, harmonic analysis and substation earthing. New developments in electrical power systems are covered. In the process of teaching this course and by using a design assignment as a problem-based learning tool, students will learn how a large real power system will perform and how to engineer solutions to identified problems.
