EE 562A Intro to Electric Power Lab
This course will provide a basic understanding of electric power systems, including the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. Topics will include basic AC system analysis, complex loads and power, quality factor, three phase systems, system stability, and power flow. The material presented will be approached within the contexts of the traditional power grid as well as touching upon the benefits and challenges presented by emerging alternative energy technologies. This course discusses the following topics: Electric power systems, AC voltage, current and power, transmission lines, polyphase systems, electrical and magnetic circuits, transformers, polyphase lines and single-phase equivalents, synchronous machines, system analysis and protection, and load flow.
