Electric power has become increasingly important as a way of transmitting and transforming energy in residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation uses. This course teaches the principles and analysis of electric power systems accommodating a variety of electromechanical devices. Students will develop analytical techniques for predicting the interaction characteristics of power systems and devices as well as learn to model major classes of electric machines particularly with respect to power system operation. Problems used in the course are intended to strengthen understanding of the phenomena and interactions in electric power systems, and include examples from current research on dynamic control and operation of smart grid.

In this course, the instructor emphasizes fundamental principles of electrical energy generation, power transmission and distribution networks, microgrid formation, integration of renewable energy resources (e.g., wind and PV), and controllable load devices for demand response. The class activity ranges from analyzing the operation of a large utility grid and microgrids to modeling electromechanical devices for various uses such as energy conversion or harvesting. This course will be useful to students who pursue careers or research in electric power systems, smart grids, power electronics, and development or use of electric motors and generators. The course material will include

None

Each student will complete 1 quiz and 1 final-term exam.
