This
course considers the generation and distribution of electrical power to large
areas. Three-phase networks are described in detail, including both generators
and loads. Methods of modeling distribution systems by per-unit parameters are
covered, along with power factor correction methods. Fault detection and
lightning protection methods are also described. Some economic aspects of power
generation and distribution are presented. (Prerequisite: EE 221) Three
credits.
