Course Description and Learning Outcomes:

Computer analysis of power systems can be categorized as steady state, dynamic (or stability), and transient. EE 5220 focuses on transient time-domain analysis. A traditional power systems background (i.e. phasor analysis and symmetrical components) is very helpful but not absolutely needed for this course. All EE Graduate Students are encouraged to consider this course as an elective. Those who successfully complete this course will understand the collection of concepts and applied match and have mastered fundamental transient simulation skills on the following:
