ECE-UY 4123 EE DPI- Electrical Power and Machinery

3 Credits

The first course, EE DP1, is one of a number of specialty lab/project courses offered by the
department in various subdisciplines such as electronics, machinery, robotics, imaging,
communications, etc. (i.e., EE-UY 4113-4183). DP1 provides significant background laboratory
experience in the student’s area of concentration. Students begin independent projects by finding
an adviser and initiating the project work, and exercising oral presentation and written
communication skills.

The course focuses on basic concepts in electric power systems. Topics include: three-phase
circuits; component modeling (generators, transmission lines, transformers, etc.); per-unit system;
symmetrical components; power flow; short circuit; transient stability; introduction to advanced
topics: contingency analysis, optimum power flow, electromagnetic transients, geomagnetically
induced currents, and harmonics. The course is complemented by laboratory experiments on
synchronous and induction (wind) generators.
