Welcome to the course home page for EEL-4213 Power Systems I.

What are power system engineers?

Power systems engineers serve the public by analyzing, designing, building and operating electric power generation, transmission and distribution systems, and industrial power systems. A number of other areas of electrical engineering are relevant to power systems, FIU offers several courses that students should pursue for a more detailed understanding. For more information see FIU website.

COURSE TOPICS:

• Introduction to Power Systems and its overall operation.
• Complex Power, consumer notation, per unit system, single and three phase calculations, power factor correction.
• Magnetic Circuits and Transformers
• Transformers operations, connections, equivalent circuits, testing and practical use
• Three phase transformers, special transformers and advanced topics.
• AC Machine concepts
• Synchronous Machines, operation, excitation, equivalent circuits, testing and practical use.
