Learning outcomes
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
- Calculate transmission line parameters given the configuration of a transmission line (K3, S1, S2)
- Perform a wide-variety of per-unit conversions (K3, S1, S2)
- Describe and evaluate a variety of transformer and generator models using appropriate model and mathematical notation (K2, K3, S1, S2)
- Perform power-flow problem in detail (K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)
- Perform flow and contingency analysis and differentiate among PV, PQ, reference/ swing/ slack buses in power flow analysis (K3, S1, S2)
- Describe the fundamental compositions and structures of renewable power systems (K3, S1)
