Learning Goals:
To enable each
student to
(1) Apply
fundamental theory on which power system analysis is based to solve electrical
engineering problems.
(2) Gain
an appreciation of the breadth of power system engineering, in terms of the
number of different sub-areas and in terms of connections with other areas of
EE.
(3) Be
able to answer the question of “where does electricity come from and how does
it get here?”
(4) Analyze
basic power electronic circuits and articulate some of their applications.
Course Pre- and
Co-requisite:
Math
267, Physics 222, and credit or registration in EE 224 and EE 230. Familiarity with the
following topics is essential: AC and DC Circuit Analysis, matrix algebra,
calculus.
Required Student
Materials:
Textbook: “Design of Smart Power Grid Renewable Energy
Systems” by A. Keyhani, Wiley/IEEE, 2011.
Tests:
There will be several
pop quizzes, three 40–45 minute-long announced midterms, and a final exam
during the semester. Both pop and
announced quizzes will be similar to homework problems, although not identical. A pop quiz will be counted as one homework
score. No make-up quizzes will be given
for any reason. Midterms dates will be
on the Web, under the “Schedule” tab of the course Web page. You are expected to take all quizzes and tests unless you become injured or very ill or
experience a death in your family (in such cases, please contact me as early as
possible).
Assignments:
Besides quizzes and
the final exam, there will be homework assignments that will be posted on the
Web, under the “Schedule” tab of the course Web page. For each assignment, it will be your
responsibility to complete and hand in on time.
Class Attendance:
You are strongly
encouraged to attend class, but roll will not be called. However, some material might be presented
that will not be in the textbook. You are responsible for all information
presented in class. The Web site,
instructor, and grader, although freely available to you, are not responsible
for providing you with in-class information if you choose not to attend class.
Class Preparation:
Reading the
appropriate material in the text before the class is essential. A schedule of topics is given under
“schedule” of the Web site. Although we
may deviate from this schedule a little, if you are attending class regularly,
you should still be able to use it to tell what reading you need to do before
class.

Communication:
Feel free to
communicate with me in any way that is convenient to you (after class, during
office hours, phone, e-mail), for questions about the course material or
assignments. Inquiries regarding recordings of your grades should be
directed to the grader. All other
inquiries, including questions on the grading of assignments or in-class
material, scheduling of quizzes and lectures, special situations, etc., should
be directed to the instructor.
Special Needs:
Please address any
special needs or special accommodations with me at the beginning of the
semester or as soon as you become aware of your needs. Those seeking accommodations based on
disabilities should obtain a Student Academic Accommodation Request (SAAR) form
from the Disability Resources (DR) office (515-294-7220 or TTY
515-294-6635). DR is located on the main
floor of the Student Services Building, Room 1076.
Academic Misconduct:
Academic Misconduct
in any form is in violation of Iowa State University Student Disciplinary
Regulations and will not be tolerated.
This includes, but is not limited to: copying or sharing answers on
tests or assignments, plagiarism, and having someone else do your academic
work. Depending on the act, a student
could receive an F grade on the test/assignment, F grade for the course, and
could be suspended or expelled from the University. See the Conduct Code at http://www.dso.iastate.edu/ja for more details and a full explanation of the Academic Misconduct
