Description: The objective of this course is to provide students with an overview of interconnected 3-phase power system operation. The student will learn how to model the basic components of such systems; transmission lines, transformers, generators, and loads. The student will learn about power flow analysis and its role in economic dispatch and generation control. Additional topics include transient stability and short circuit protection.
