The
systems that generate, transmit and supply electrical energy to consumers are
becoming more and more complex. They have to maintain a reliable supply of
power, at an economic cost, while observing stringent environmental limits.
 This
class provides an introduction to generation, transmission, and distribution
of electricity. Upon successful
completion, you will be able to perform basic power system analysis that will
enable you take up an entry-level position with such companies as electric
utilities, consulting engineers, large consumers, and electrical equipment
manufacturers. It will also prepare you for follow-on courses such as ECE471
(Industrial Power Systems), ECE472 (Power Systems II), and ECE473 (Control of
Power Systems).
