stability. Power flow calculations for large grids. The Y-Bus and Z-Bus matrices. P-Q, P-V, and
slack bus. Control of voltage, power, and reactive power. Regulating transformers. Solution
using Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson methods. Symmetrical faults. Power flow simulation
using software, power world simulator. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA).
Economic operation of power systems: Load curves, demand factor, diversity factor, load
duration curves, energy load curve. Load demand and load forecasting. Load shedding.
Symmetrical components: Conditions leading to unbalance. Forward, reverse, and zero sequence.
Sequence circuits of Y and Δ impedances. Transients in power systems: Transients of AC in RL
and RLC circuits. High voltage DC transmission, inverters and converters, and protection. Smart
grids: Introduction, Flexible AC transmission system.

Course Objective:
Upon completing this course, students will be able to:
1. analyze advanced issues in AC circuits
2. analyze a large grid with numerous generators and loads, with matrices
3. analyze harmonics
4. analyze stability issues with single generator or motor.
5. analyze with symmetrical components.
6. investigate with smart grids

Course Policy:
1. Attend class and follow class discussions.
2. Respond and question in class during designated times, or after raising your hand.
3. Plagiarism is strongly discouraged and strictly prohibited.
4. Have good physical insight into your circuits and use mathematics as a tool.
5. Mailing Lists may be used for communication among students, and with instructor.
6. There will be no make up exams.
7. Any student may audit the class for the entire duration of the semester.

The above may be modified as needed. Less marks have been assigned to Online exams, which
have less credibility. Instead, Continuous Assessment is emphasized upon grading.

Grading: Percentage marks to letter grade conversion may be ‘curved’ in favor of students. As
there is some ‘relative’ grading, please be aware of your own standing among your peers.

Homework: About half a page should be a review in your own words, on last week’s material,
and 1.5 pages should be on problems from book. Writing should be compact. It is important to
solve problems by yourself, before consulting a book. Do not copy books or class notes.

Test Question: Are unlikely to be ‘common’ questions from class notes and textbooks. Consult
past questions to see test format. Bring a calculator, pencil, and eraser for all tests.

Attendance: Check university policies for minimum attendance requirements, so as not to get a
‘W’ grade. Be aware of the last date for withdrawal.

Video:
➢ Duration is about 2:00 - 2:30 minutes.
➢ Do not read from anywhere.
➢ Speak naturally and from your mind.
➢ Head to knees should be visible.
➢ Stand and walk around.
➢ Look in all directions, as if in front of a class.
➢ Presentation slides are not required.

Hint: Have some fellow students or family members in front of you to hold the camera. Do not
edit the video. Must be a single presentation from beginning to the end. Post on designated
Facebook pages, as a reply to original post on the subject. Also, save copy on YouTube.

For privacy concerns, can email YouTube link to instructor without posting in group, but only
with prior permission.

Presentation: To be held on the last day of class, and before the final exam. There will be a
maximum of 3 slides that should be presented using an overhead projector in the interest of
saving time. Make a video of your presentation beforehand and post in a public forum.

First Assignment:
1. Write in detail what you have done in earlier courses.
2. Write in detail what you would like to study in this course.
3. Go online to famous universities worldwide.
4. Find faculty members in Power and Energy and write down their areas of research.
Helpful Tips for Online Class
1. Dress up as you would for a real class on campus.
2. Keep Video On at all times, which is university policy.
3. Sit with your back against a wall and face the room. This way, visitors to your room will not
be visible on camera. Also, you will not get bored from staring at a wall.
4. A neutral background behind you, such as a wall, a neat bookshelf or curtains is fine. Do not
have clutter.
5. Include your hands in your video for better communication of expressions. Have the camera
close to your monitor so that you are looking at the camera.
6. Artificial background with software may be distracting to the viewer.
7. Make the most of online classes, by paying attention and participating in class, and thinking
deeply on the subject.
8. Online Exams have less credibility and should not be the only goal of your studies.
9. Be well connected with your classmates, and frequently discuss the material discussed in
class.
10. Lack of interaction on campus means more opportunities to be connected with academia
worldwide. Be well connected with your friends in the same major, even in other
universities, and discuss what you have learned in class. With your real campus closed, the
world is now your campus.
11. Try to meet and exchange notes with other students of EEE and otherwise, living in your
area, as permitted by healthcare policies.
12. With new virus strains emerging every few months, online classes may be a way of life for
the next few months. No need to ponder on the problems with online classes. Make the most
of whatever academic opportunities are presented to you in the midst of the pandemic.
