Course description and aims
This course focuses on the-state-of-the-art hardware and software technologies in an electric power system. Topics include technologies for power generation (thermal and nuclear), power apparatus, power system operation and control, power system protection, DC transmission, communication for a power system and smart grid.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand what kind of hardware/software technologies are used in an electric power system.
2) Understand the-state-of-the-art technologies in electric power generation, power apparatus (including high-voltage engineering), power delivery and power system operation and control as well as their current challenges.
3) Understand recent technological trends such as smart grid.
Keywords
electric utility, thermal power generation, nuclear power generation, power delivery, power system operation, smart grid, renewable energy, power apparatus, power electronics
