Introduction

This highly informative electrical power system analysis and design training course covers the essential elements of power system analysis, both from a theoretical perspective and, more importantly, from a practical viewpoint. Methods often covered as abstract mathematical procedures, such as phasors, per-unit, and symmetrical components, are presented straightforwardly and understandably. Modeling and analysis are viewed realistically, not as simply a step-by-step procedure.

After completing this electrical power system analysis and design training course, you will intuitively understand how the power system behaves and how it must be analyzed under normal and contingency conditions. The curriculum is structured to reinforce concepts related to electrical power systems engineering and power systems analysis and design.
