Power System Modeling and Computation

3 Credits

A comprehensive study of various computational methods that form the basis of many analytical studies of power systems. Topics include power system modeling, solution of linear systems, systems of nonlinear equations, sparse matrix solution techniques, numerical integration, optimization, and their applications in power system analysis. Students are enabled to make informed decisions in their use of commercial software packages and correctly interpret the results. Matlab is used extensively. ECE 329 and ECE 429 may not both be taken for credit. Prerequisites: ECE 321 or ECE 421
