Objective:
The
purpose of ECE 472 is to introduce to students the subject of Power System
Protection and Power System Stability.
This
course will start with an introduction to the Power System Protection and
proceeds with describing philosophies utilized for protection of a modern power
system. Topics such as operating principles of electromagnetic attraction
and induction relays will be followed by discussion of operating principles
of existing schemes which are practiced by the relay engineer.
Application
of protection schemes to components of the power system such as
transformers, buses, transmission lines, generators, reactors, capacitors,
and motors will be covered in this course. New trends in specific areas of
computer relaying and adaptive protection will be discussed.
The
topic of Power System Stability will be introduced by describing the
stability phenomenon. The proceeding lectures will concentrate on the low
frequency oscillations of a turbine-generator shaft in the range of a few
tenths of a hertz up to a few hertz. The equal-area criterion, which is the
foundation of work in the area of power system stability, will be covered.
The generalization of the equal-area criterion to a multi-machine power
system, and the structure of commercially available transient stability programs
will be reviewed.
Honor Code:
The
Institute values its reputation for moral leadership as much as its reputation for academic excellence, and expects all
persons associated with it to maintain the reputation. The institute's Code
of Ethics is simple and direct: Rose-Hulman
expects its students to be responsible adults and to behave at all times
with honor and integrity. All students are expected to abide by this
code and to aid its enforcement by reporting violations of it.
Course Work:
ECE 472
will meet three times a week and you are expected to attend all lectures. Missing more than
three lectures, without a valid excuse (doctor's note), will result in
failure of the course.
Homework
problems will be assigned regularly with a firm due date. Each individual will turn in his/her homework
assignment. Late homework assignments will not be accepted. Homework
problems should be done according to the format specified in the GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS FOR WRITING ASSIGNMENTS.You
may discuss homework problems with your classmates. However, copying
homework assignments is considered a violation of the institution HONOR
CODE. Homework problems solution will be placed in the library after the
homework assignment is graded.
