Computational Methods for Power System Analysis

Summer 2017 > Engineering/Engineering Technology > EECE.4240 > 021

Course No: EECE.4240-021; SIS Class Nbr: 2773; SIS Term: 2640
Course Status: Registration Closed

Course Description

The course explores some of the mathematical and simulation tools used for the design, analysis and operation of electric power systems. Computational methods based on linear and nonlinear optimization algorithms are used to solve load flow problems, to analyze and characterize system faults and contingencies, and to complete economic dispatch of electric power systems. Real case studies and theoretical projects are assigned to implement the techniques learned and to propose recommendations. Different software applications will be used concurrently including ATP, PowerWorld Simulator, Aspen, MatLab with Simulink and Power System Toolbox, PSCAD, etc.
