A Short Course Series

Presented by

The Klipsch School of Electrical

and Computer Engineering

Room 303 Thomas and Brown Hall

New Mexico State University

July 27 - August 6, 1999

Course Faculty:

W.H. Kersting

S.J. Ranade H.A. Smolleck

W.M. Grady

These three short courses provide a broad coverage of power system analysis, distribution system analysis, and power quality and harmonics in power systems.

The first (four-day) course provides a review of the fundamentals of power system modeling and analysis. Essential concepts and analysis methods will be reviewed. The concepts will be illustrated through the solution of typical problems as well as by means of computer programs Useful analysis programs will be given to each attendee.

The two-day distribution course is designed to familiarize the students with the design, analysis and operation of a distribution system. Analysis will include power-flow, short-circuit, and motor-starting studies, with both hand calculations and hands-on computer applications using the widely used program RDAP from WHPower consultants. A student copy of the program will be provided to all attendees.

The Power Quality and Power System Harmonics course will be devoted to power quality issues and the analysis and mitigation of harmonic-related problems in power systems. These sessions include computer demonstrations and hands-on computer access. Computer programs for load flow and harmonics studies (PCFLO, HARMLF and HARMDEM) will be provided to all attendees.

Who Should Attend ?

The first course will be very beneficial for engineers with limited formal background in electric power systems, as well as power engineers who desire a refresher course in the subject. The course will also be valuable to engineers preparing for FE and PE exams. This expanded version provides four days of application-oriented theory, software use, and problem-solving.

The Distribution System Analysis course is designed to familiarize attendees with the design, analysis and operation of a power distribution system. This course emphasizes the unbalanced nature of such systems and provides techniques for analysis and design. Utility and plant engineers with responsibilities in power distribution will profit from this course.

The Power System Harmonics course will benefit engineers in the utility industry as well as designers and consultants who must increasingly deal with power quality and must frequently design systems in which harmonics are an important consideration. The central theme of the course is that Power Quality and Harmonics problems can be managed with good analysis and engineering.

All of the above courses provide continuing education credit (CEU's). These courses can also be offered in house at your organization. Inquiries are welcome.
