Course Goal(s):
To have students understand the various aspects of power system operation. Design assignments provide
insight into practical issues.
Instructional Outcomes for the Course:
Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to :
1.Calculate voltages and currents at different points of power systems due to any kinds of faults.
2.Understand relay operating principle and design protection scheme for a given power system with
several generators, transformers, bus-bars, and transmission lines.
3.Find the scheduling of different power plants to minimize the operating cost of the power system for a
given a power system with several power plants.
4.Model ALFC and AVR loops, and design a control scheme such that the frequency and the tie-line
power of a given two-area power system are regulated.
5.Write swing equations and determine whether the system is transient stable for various kinds of major
disturbances such as loss of lines, short circuits, or loss of turbine power for both a one-machine infinitebus (or a multi-machine) power system,
6.Solve a power system design problem using power system software and develop a professional report
Criterion 3 Student Outcomes addressed by this Course:
3a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
3c. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic
constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,
manufacturability, and sustainability
3e. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
3k. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice
