ELC 477 - Power Systems and Renewable Energy

Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

(with design hour) Prerequisites: ELC 251, ENG 272 As the energy resources on which our society currently relies (e.g. petroleum, coal) are exhausted, the need for innovation in power and energy systems engineering grows. Specifically, engineers must examine methods to increase energy renewability as well as efficiency in energy conversion, distribution, and utilization. It is appropriate that this course places focus on electric power systems, as electric power is the "medium" with most promise to support new energy technologies.This course provides students with knowledge of as well as the ability to model and analyze the nonlinear behavior of electric power systems. Focus is placed on 3-phase power, complex power and power factor, transformer modeling, synchronous machine modeling, transmission line modeling, load flow analysis, economic dispatch, and energy renewability.
