Course Description
This intensive course will teach practicing engineers the basics of power system analysis, including definitions, power factor correction, symmetrical components, simulation techniques for short circuit and loadflow, system and motor protection, and power quality. The instructors (four experienced power professors plus the Director of Engineering at Austin Energy), have designed the course to balance theory and practice. It will serve as a refresher course for those who have been out of academia for some years, and also as a senior elective-level course for those who missed that opportunity during their undergraduate studies.
COURSE AGENDA:
Monday, June 14, 2004 - Review of ac circuits, phasors, definitions of power, power factor, power factor correction, efficiency.
- Three-phase systems, per unit method, one-line diagrams.
- Optional tour of UT power facilities. Includes power plant and substation.
Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - Symmetrical components, component models, transformers (wye-delta, etc.), transmission lines, positive, negative, and zero sequence one-line diagrams.
- System admittance and impedance matrices, motor starting, voltage sags.
Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - Short circuit formulas and calculations, examples.
- Loadflow, characteristics of low-voltage and high-voltage systems, numberical techniques, interconnected systems, examples.
Thursday, June 17, 2004 - Motors and motor protection.
- System relaying and protection.
Friday, June 18, 2004 - Motor drives and drive protection.
- Power quality and harmonics. Definitions, standards, grounding, voltage sags, reliability, transients, harmonics.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops. FACULTY-IN-CHARGE:
