Teaching

Covers basics of DC circuit analysis starting with the definition of voltage, current, resistance, power and energy. Linearity and superposition, together with Kirchhoff's laws, are applied to analysis of circuits having series, parallel and other combinations of circuit elements. Thevenin, Norton and maximum power transfer theorems are proved and applied. Circuits with ideal op-amps are introduced. Inductance and capacitance are introduced and the transient response of RL, RC and RLC circuits to step inputs is established. Practical aspects of the properties of passive devices and batteries are discussed, as are the characteristics of battery-powered circuitry. The laboratory component incorporates use of both computer and manually controlled instrumentation including power supplies, signal generators and oscilloscopes to reinforce concepts discussed in class as well as circuit design and simulation software.

This course deals with the topics related to electric power transmission and distribution. Topics covered in this course include: Three Phase System – Wye and Delta connections, Transformers – equivalent circuit –performance characteristics, Balanced and Unbalanced System Analysis, Transmission and Distribution Line Design Considerations, Transmission Line Protection, Transmission Line Faults and Fault Analysis.

This course will introduce the details of electric power markets and the techniques to better use the available resources. Topics include the description of steam generation and renewable energy sources. Formulation of the cost associated with the generation and the optimization methods to minimize this cost in the economic dispatch problem. Unit commitment. Optimal power flow formulation and its solution methods. Introduction to smart grid technologies and challenges.
