Power and Energy Courses You May Take
Fundamentals of Power Engineering: Review of three-phase circuit analysis. Principles of electromechanical energy conversion, operation of transformers, DC machines, synchronous machines, induction machines, and fractional horsepower machines. Introduction to electronic motor drives, power electronics, and power network models. The per unit system. Newton-Raphson power flow. Symmetrical three-phase faults.
Power System Monitoring and Protection: Reliability of electrical energy systems to a large extent is a consequence of the reliability of its protection system. Basic building blocks of the protection system are fuses, over current and distance relays and differential protection schemes.
Electric Machines and Power Electric Drives: This is a senior and beginning level graduate course focusing on electric drive systems (power electronics driven electromechanical devices). The focus of the course will include permanent magnet synchronous machine drives (brushless dc) and induction motor drives.
Power System Stability Control: This course deals with the development of detailed models of power system components and their application in the analysis of the dynamic behavior of interconnected power systems in response to small and large disturbances.
