    EC417 -- Electric Energy, Adapting to Renewable Resources

    Fall 2018
    Topics:

     Brief History of Power Systems (the great AC-DC battle)


     AC circuit analysis
     Basic Components of Power Systems (generation, transmission, distribution --
    electric motors and other loads)
     Power Plants with emphasis on renewables (solar, wind, fuel cells, biomass)
     Analysis methods for 3-phase systems
     Real and Reactive Power and Power Factor calculations
     Transformers
     Introduction to Power Electronics and AC/DC and DC/ AC converters with
    application to high voltage circuits
     The Power Grid and the topology of Power systems
     Power system simulation methodologies (POWER WORLD)
     Methods for monitoring, control, and optimization of Power Systems including
    issues related to stability and "blackouts" (especially those related to the
    introduction of renewables (Photovoltaics, wind, etc.)
     Development of the "Smart Grid"
     Electric Vehicles
     A whole new set of problems with the future introduction of PHEVs (Plug-In
    Hybrid Electric Vehicles) and EVs along with issues related to their "charging
    stations").
     Future directions and the resulting impact on the current electric utility industry
    which will be greatly impacted by new developments in storage technology,
    electric transportation, and LED lighting.

    Academic Misconduct

    BU takes academic integrity very seriously. Academic misconduct is conduct by which a


    student misrepresents his or her academic accomplishments, or impedes other students’
    opportunities of being judged fairly for their academic work. Knowingly allowing others to
    represent your work as their own is as serious an offense as submitting another’s work
    as your own. More information on BU's Academic Conduct Code, with examples, may be
    found at
    http://www.bu.edu/academics/policies/academic-conduct-code .

    Collaboration Policy

    In this class you may use one human collaborator (from this class) for homework
    problems. You must clearly acknowledge your collaborator (if any) on the top of your
    homework.

    Essays (and other assignments as specifically so mentioned) must be your own work
    (no collaborators allowed).

    Essays must have properly quoted references (see IEEE templates and guidelines for
    specific examples).

    You must write all answers in your own words (obvious copy from solutions manuals – or
    other sources - will get zero).

    You must be able to fully explain your answers upon demand.

    You may not collaborate with anyone on exams.

    Class Material

    All class material (handouts, exams, exam solutions, etc) may not be copied, posted on
    any web-site, or otherwise be made available to others.

    Lectures may not be recorded (video and/or audio) even for your own personal use.

    Failure to meet any of the above constitute plagiarism and will be considered cheating in
    this class. If you are not sure whether something is permitted by the course policy, ASK
    ME! (it’s much more awkward to explain your actions after the fact to the college
    disciplinary committee).
