Course: ECE 510. Electric Power Systems II (3)
Prerequisite: ECE 411. This course is a complementary course for ECE 411. The course covers AC and DC power flow in electric power systems and economic operation of power system including economic dispatch problem and optimal power flow. Synchronous machine reactance and transient stability are introduced. Protective devices including fuses and reclosers are briefly discussed. Load frequency control and voltage regulation are studied in depth. Finally, state estimation problem is shortly addressed. PowerWorld and MATLAB Simulink are used to simulate power system problems.
