ELEN 5356 - Power System Stability and Control

Power System Stability and Control. This course deals with the development of detailed models of power system components and their application in the analysis of the dynamic behavior of interconnected power systems in response to small and large disturbances. The main topics are alternate Energy Grid Integration Issues, Distributed Generation Technologies and the Economics of Distributed Resources in power system stability and control, introduction to Phasor measurements and Smart Grid Integration Issues, formulation of the power system stability problem, longer term stability and static and dynamic security assessments, and introduction to Power systems controls.

ELEN 5357 - Power System Monitoring and Protection

Power System Monitoring and Protection. Reliability of electrical energy systems to a large extent is a consequence of the reliability of its’ protection system. Basic building blocks of the protection system are fuses, over current and distance relays and differential protection schemes. In this course, we will introduce their principles and applications to apparatus and system protection. Technology of relaying has changed significantly in the last century. We will introduce both theory and practice of the numerical relays. The course can be used as a first course in power system protection. It should be also useful to graduate students, practicing engineers as well as research community.
