ELEC 4467 - Power Systems Laboratory

Prerequisite or co-requisite: ELEC 4437. This lab is designed to reinforce the concepts learned in the associated course. Concepts include AC transmission lines and cables, power flow in transmission networks, loadability of transmission lines, transformers, High Voltage DC (HVDC) transmission lines, power quality and power factor, synchronous generators, voltage regulation and stability, peak load issues, ways to prevent voltage collapses, and dynamic stability. Experiments are designed to show the usage of the following software tools in power systems: PSCAD-EMTDC, PowerWorld, and MATLAB. 1 credits.
