Course Objectives:
This two-week course will provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of power engineering. Topics include Three-Phase Fundamentals, Transformers, Transmission Lines, Substations, Power Flows, Power Electronics, Distribution Systems, Loads, Power System Planning, Operation, Protection, Dynamics, Stability and Control, Transients, and Distributed Energy Resources and Integration into the Grid. The course is designed to act as a refresher for the basics and as a brief introduction for more advanced topics.
At the completion of the course, student should be able to:
• Perform three-phase analysis
• Understand the per-unit system
• Understand AC machines operation and different kind of distributed generations
• Analyze transmission line electrical performance
• Perform power flow analysis
• Be familiar with power electronics devices, converters and machine drives
• Have detailed knowledge of distribution systems, substations, and loads and the effect of
distributed generations
• Have a in-depth understating of power system planning and operation
• Understand symmetrical components and their role in unsymmetrical fault analysis
• Analyze symmetrical and unsymmetrical short circuit scenarios
• Be familiar with renewables and storage control and integrations and their challenges.
• Better understand power system protections.
• Understand different forms of stability studies, root causes, controls and different forms of power
system transients
• Describe distributed energy resources and their integrations to the grid
• Understand and analyze power quality issues.
