ENGR 1071 - ELECTRICAL POWER TRANSMISSION, DISTRIBUTION AND GRID TECHNOLOGYMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 This is an overview course designed to introduce students to electric power transmission and distribution grid technologies dedicated to reliably, efficiently, economically, and safely managing electric power across utility networks. The course will cover the application of various grid technologies from power generation through power consumption including transmission networks, grid automation, power electronics systems, communications and control, protection, grid operations, grid connectivity, renewable energy integration, cyber security, and other emerging areas, as well as an introduction to power utility markets, business processes, and policy/regulation. Students will gain an understanding of the how the broad spectrum of power grid technologies is integrated into the electrical energy industry, with an emphasis on transmission and distribution systems at the electric utility level. Since nuclear power often plays a significant role for near-term and future smart grid strategy in many developed countries, such as France, Japan and South Korea, part of this course will be directed to an overview of today's nuclear power generation and its relation to grid technologies.
