ECE 6304 - Advanced Topics in Power (3C)

Advanced topics of current interest in power engineering. Topics are selected from current technical literature.

The major focus of this class is to train graduate students in developing research ability related to power system dynamics through individual or group projects. Students will simulate and analyze power system dynamics as seen in the from of inter-area oscillations, frequency and angle swings, and loss of stability. It it expected that students will learn to approach problems in power system dynamics through literature study and hands-on projects. Students are required to use PSS/E, EMTDC or other tools for simulation aspects of the projects. The class also intend to provide a supporting and critic environment for students to improve their presentation skills.
