EE-863 Power System Analysis

Course Learning Objectives

The course will help students understand how power systems are modeled both at the
distribution and transmission levels. The course covers transmission of electric power with
emphasis on admittance and impedance modeling of components and system, power-flow
studies and calculations, symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault calculations, economic
operation of large-scale generation and transmission systems.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

o Build deep understandings on power system and its modeling

o Modeling techniques for power system analysis and modeling of power system
apparatus (transformers, motors, transmission lines), Single and three phase systems
o Power flow analysis and Bus admittance matrix including Power flow
solution
o Symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault calculations
o Understand the definitions and concepts associated with short circuit, power flow and
stability analysis.
o Discuss techniques and tools for power system analysis

Prerequisites

o Steady-state analysis of single-phase and three-phase circuits

o Elements of transient analysis and basics electromagnetic field theory
o Principles of machines, transformers, and transmission lines
o Per-unit system and representations

Main Topics
