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, nuclear, and renewable energy sources), power apparatus, power system operation and control, DC transmission, and power market.
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 trends on new technologies and systems such as integration of renewable energy sources and establishment of power markets
