2. Course Description:

Course Number: INEL 6027

Course Title: Dynamics and Control of Integrated Power System

Course Textbook: Prabha Kundur, ``Power System Stability and Control'', McGraw Hill, 1994.

3. Purpose:

This is a course for graduate students in electric power engineering.  The purpose of this course is that students learn to analyze the dynamic behavior of interconnected power system when subject to large and small perturbations.

4. Course Goals:

This is a graduate level course where mathematical models of power system components are developed and used in varying degrees of detail to analyze the dynamic behavior of interconnected power systems in response to small and large disturbances.

5. Requirements:

All students are expected to:

Think. Individually do all assigned readings and homework. Arrive on time. Attend all lectures.

Approve all exams.

6. Laboratory/Computer Usage:

At this moment there is no laboratory for this course.

Students are required to use EPRI’s PSAPAC software to solve homework problems and projects.

7. Instructional Strategy:

The course will consist of lectures, discussions and problem solving.  Homework will be assigned at each meeting period and it is due the next meeting period.  Homework will be discussed in class.  Students are expected to work, work, and work.

8. Evaluation/Grade Reporting:

There will be one partial exam (20%), homework (30%) and three projects (50%). One of these projects replaces the final exam.  None of these will be eliminated.

The exam date is Wednesday, March 3 at 4:30 p.m..

Grading scale: 100-90 A, 89-80 B, 79-70 C, 69-60 D, 59 or less F.

Academic discipline falls within the jurisdiction of the course instructor and he alone will decide the penalty for Academic Dishonesty.  In general, academic dishonesty will be severely punished!

9. Deadlines for Assignments:

It will be announced as homework and projects are assigned.

10. Student Assistance:

The General Library is available to obtain professor’s reference materials.

11. Attendance and Behavior:

Attendance is mandatory and you will behave.

The only electronic equipment you are allowed to bring to class is your calculator, a hearing aid, pacemaker or other health aid you may need.  Cellular phones and pagers are not to be used in class.

12. Instructor Responsibilities:

The instructor will grade exams, homework and projects within two weeks of receiving the work. The instructor will keep regular office hours and attempt to answer all questions.
