Objective: To introduce graduate students to the theory and computation techniques of power system stability; to introduce advanced control techniques for enhancing power system stability.

Topics:

· Power system stability: Single and multiple machine systems, synchronous generator models;

· Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), devices and control;

· System voltage collapse, theory, modeling and simulation.

Computer Use: MATLAB, SIMULINK and PowerWorld Simulator.

Grading: Homeworks (25%).

Two mid-term exams (50%).

One project (25%): Project proposals are due on February 12^th; final proposals due on February 19^th. Final Project proposals must be one page long and include the project title, a short description of the project and the methods to be used. The proposal counts 5% of the grade (included in the project grade). Each student will prepare a power point presentation of the project, to be given in class. Projects are due April 28^th.

Class assignments are due in class at the specified day. Late assignments are accepted only after a valid reason (sickness, family, etc). Unjustifiably late assignments will be penalized by 10 point off for each day late.

All work submitted for the class is subjected to academic standards and University policies. Copying or plagiarizing will be punished by one or more of the following: zero in the assignment, a letter reduction in the class grade, a failing grade for the class, reporting the incident to the university.
