FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY - SOE
EE377/ECE477:  Power Security and Reliability
Summer, 2015

This course focuses on Power System Protection and Relaying to allow the design of robust and reliable power systems. After reviewing the need for protection of power system elements (motors, generators, transformers, and transmission/distribution lines), the course: Explores developments in the creation of smarter, more flexible protective systems based on advances in the computational power of digital devices and the capabilities of communication systems that can be applied within the power grid, Examines the regulations related to power system protection and how they impact the way protective relaying systems are designed, applied, set, and monitored, Considers the evaluation of protective systems during system disturbances and describes the tools available for analysis, Addresses the benefits and problems associated with applying microprocessor-based devices in protection schemes' Contains an expanded discussion of internal protection requirements at dispersed generation facilities. MatLab is used to solve homework problems and do team design projects.

Academic Dishonesty:

Students are sometimes unsure of what constitutes academic dishonesty.  In all academic work, students are expected to submit materials that are their own and are to include attribution for any ideas or language that are not their own.  Examples of dishonest conduct include, but are not limited to:

        Falsification of academic records or grades, including but not limited to any act of falsifying information on an official academic document, grade report, class registration document or transcript.

        Cheating, such as copying examination answers from materials such as crib notes or another student’s paper.

        Collusion, such as working with another person or persons when independent work is prescribed. .

        Inappropriate use of notes.

        Falsification or fabrication of an assigned project, data, results, or sources.

        Giving, receiving, offering, or soliciting information in examinations.

        Using previously prepared materials in examinations, tests, projects, or quizzes.

        Destruction or alteration of another student’s work.

        Submitting the same paper or report for assignments in more than one course without the prior written permission of each instructor.

        Appropriating information, ideas, or the language of other people or writers and submitting it as one’s own to satisfy the requirements of a course – commonly known as plagiarism.
Plagiarism constitutes theft and deceit.  Assignments (compositions, term papers, computer programs, etc. .) acquired either in part or in whole from commercial sources, publications, students, or other sources and submitted as one’s own original work will be considered plagiarism.

        Unauthorized recording, sale, or use of lectures and other instructional materials.

In the event of such dishonesty, professors are to award a grade of zero for the project, paper, or examination in question, and may record an F for the course itself.  When appropriate, expulsion may be recommended. . A notation of the event is made in the student’s file in the academic dean’s office.  The student will receive a copy.
