Seminar in Electric Power Systems: Course Description

'Seminar in Electric Power Systems' is a graduate-level OpenCourseWare from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology taught by Professor James Kirtley. Students interested in this graduate-level course should have some knowledge of electric systems plus a strong background in electric network theory with some knowledge of electromagnetics control technologies Because the course touches on the subject of the economics of electric power systems, some basic knowledge of economics would also be helpful. The topics studied in this seminar include the structure and operation of power systems and their components, including generating plants, loads, transformers and transmission lines. Students will also study simulation technologies that can help prepare theoretical technologies for real-world implementations.

This OpenCourseWare includes problem sets with solutions, as well as sample MATLAB scripts to complete the problem sets. Also available is a set of downloadable course notes. To take this free course, visit the electric power systems course page.
