Course Objectives: See “Course objectives” link in table at top of this page.
Course Prerequisite:
Familiarity with power system analysis methods at the level of one of
the standard text books on this subject, including the ones by Bergen &
Vittal, Grainger & Stevenson, Glover & Sarma,
Gross, del Torro, Saadat,
and Elgerd. Familiarity with the following topics is
essential: matrix algebra, calculus, network analysis theory including electric
power flow analysis, and basic optimization concepts.
Required Student Materials:
1. Text: Power generation operation and control, by Allen Wood and Bruce Wollenberg. Additional course materials will be posted to the website.
Quizzes: There will be two 55 minute exams during the semester and a comprehensive 2 hour final exam. No make-up exams will be given, unless there is a legitimate reason for missing the exam that is not under the student’s control, and the student makes appropriate arrangement with the instructor in advance of the scheduled exam.
Assignments: Besides two semester exams and the final exam, there will be two different types of assignments.
· Homework problems: I will assign some homework problems to help you consider more deeply some of the material we will cover. Solutions to the problems will be made available to you, under “HW, Quiz solutions” of the course web site.
