EE 434 - Electrical Power Engineering

Institution:

Western New England University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: EE 314 and EE 301. This is an introductory level course in electrical energy conversion devices such as generators, motors, and transformers. Students, on successful completion of this course, understand the structure and components of an electrical power system and are able to calculate MMF, flux, and flux density in electro-magnetic circuits as used in transformers and rotating electrical machines. Students develop good understanding of the causes of energy losses and are able to calculate these. They learn the need for power transformation; the constructional features of a power transformer; how to use test data for developing circuit model; and how to calculate regulation and efficiency of transformers. They understand principles of energy conversion and are able to calculate force, torque, and mechanical power and its relationship to electrical voltage current and power in generators and motors. Methods of assessment include homework, quizzes, tests, and a short paper on one of the topics related to the course. 3 cr.
