2. Course Description:

Course Number: INEL 4415

Course Title: Power System Analysis

Course Textbook: Grainger, John. J. and Stevenson, William. D. Jr. (1994) Power System Analysis. New York, New York: McGraw-Hill, Inc.

 

3. Purpose:

This is a course for majors in electric power engineering.  The purpose of this course is to teach students the fundamentals of “steady state” power system analysis.

 

4. Course Goals:

After completing the course, the student should have the tools and practice to perform “steady state” power system analysis. The course includes fundamentals of power systems operation and design.

 

5. Requirements:

All students are expected to:

Think. Individually do all assigned readings and homework. Arrive on time. Attend all lectures.

Approve all exams.

 

6. Laboratory/Computer Usage:

At this moment there is no laboratory for this course.

 

Students are required to use existing power flow programs and to program, using MATLAB, their own power flow, short circuit and economic dispatch programs.  These programs will be used to solve homework problems.

 

7. Instructional Strategy:

The course will consist of lectures, discussions and problem solving.  Homework will be assigned at each meeting period and it is due the next meeting period.  Homework will be discussed in class.  Students are expected to work, work, and work.

 

8. Evaluation/Grade Reporting:

There will be three partial exams (22% each), three projects (9%) and one final exam (25%).  No one will be eliminated.

 

The exams dates are: February 19, March 19 and April 30 (all of them Wednesday) from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in S-228.

 

Grading scale: 100-90 A, 89-80 B, 79-70 C, 69-60 D, 59 or less F.

 

Academic fraud will result in SEVERE PUNISHEMENT!

 

 

9. Deadlines for Assignments:

Projects due dates will be announced.

 

Homework will be assigned at each meeting period and it is due the next meeting period.  Homework will be discussed in class and you are expected to fully participate in homework discussion as frequently as possible.

 

10. Student Assistance:

The electric power system home page http://www.ece.uprm.edu/~power/ provides supporting material to this course.  We will have a review section before each exam.

 

11. Attendance and Behavior:

Attendance is mandatory and you will behave.

The only electronic equipment you are allowed to bring to class is your calculator, a hearing aid, pacemaker or other health aid you may need.  Cellular phones and pagers are not to be used in class.

 

12. Instructor Responsibilities:

The instructor will grade all exams within two weeks of offering the exam, will keep regular office hours and attempt to answer all questions.
