 The components that make up the various
electrical energy systems are becoming more and more complex. Electricity production starts at “Generating
Stations”, it is moved in bulk by the “Transmission System”,
being brought to local areas where it is carried by the “Distribution
System”, before finally being delivered to the “Customer System”
for consumption. Analysis of such
systems requires a firm understanding of basic circuit analysis (mainly using
phasors) and fundamental electromagnetics. It is impossible to understand how
electricity is produced and ultimately utilized without first being able to
analyze single and three-phase systems, transformers, along with ac and dc
machines.
This class provides an
introduction to analysis of basic electrical energy systems. Upon successful
completion, you will be able to take up challenging summer employment or
co-op positions with such companies as electric utilities, consulting
engineers, electrical equipment manufacturers, and large consumers. It will
also prepare you for follow-on courses such as: ECE470 (Power Systems I),
ECE471 (Industrial Power Systems), ECE472 (Power Systems II), and ECE571
(Control of Power Systems). All of which are much sought-after by recruiters.
