 Power System Operation & Control

a) Fall Semester, 2023 – present, for senior students.

b) Course Description: This course is an in-depth course on power system analysis, a core course for undergraduate majors in the Department of Electrical Engineering. The course designs course projects based on actual power system operating scenarios. Students complete the steady-state and transient calculation and analysis work required by the course project based on teacher lectures and teacher-student interaction, thereby learning and mastering power system analysis methods and cultivating proficiency in the application of C, Python, etc. Software and industry mainstream electrical analysis software provide basic skills for conducting scientific research and engineering analysis, and cultivate engineering thinking and basic ideas and methods for solving practical problems. The course will set up two sections of projects, focusing on steady-state and transient analysis of power systems respectively. Both Projects adopt a hierarchical design with "depth of field" and are divided into two levels: basic and advanced. The project is organized in groups, with 2 to 3 people in each group. The basic content level serves as the basic link, requiring each group to complete training on the same topic; the advanced content provides multiple topic selection directions, and each group can choose different advanced content. If several groups choose the same advanced content, group confrontation can be used to organize the situation.
