EE 332 - Electrical Power II

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

Continuation of EE 331. Physical and electrical characteristics of single-phase induction motors and other rotating machines. Use of equivalent circuit models, standard formulas, and graphical techniques to predict machine performance. Introduction to power system analysis including system models, per-unit calculations, power flows, and symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault calculations. Laboratory includes computer simulations, measurements on typical machines and systems, and instruction in electrical safety practices. Prerequisite: EE 331 (Electrical Power I). Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Identify significant physical and electrical features of single-phase induction motors and other rotating machines. (2) Predict the performance of rotating machines using equivalent circuit models, standard formulas, and graphical techniques. (3) Develop practical models for electrical power systems. (4) Compute power system performance under normal and fault conditions. (5) Construct prototype power systems that include transformers and rotating machines. (6) Characterize power systems using electrical, mechanical, and thermal measurements and relate their observed performance to the predicted performance. (7) Perform computer simulations to confirm the observed behavior of prototype power systems and to study additional systems without constructing their prototypes. (8) Document their work in accurate, attractive, and informative laboratory reports. (9) Adhere to recommended safety practices for working with line-voltage equipment and rotating machines.
