EECS 463 Power System Design & Operation Syllabus Winter 2014

University of Michigan Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science EECS 463 Power Systems Design and Operation Winter 2014
Course Syllabus
Summary: Modern society is highly dependent upon reliable, economic electricity supply. This course will provide students with the knowledge and skills required to analyze and design power systems. It will develop models and tools for investigating system behavior, and provide opportunities for using those tools in design processes. Physics 240 (General Physics II) or 260 (Honors Physics II), EECS 215 (Circuits), EECS (Signals & Systems) 216 or Graduate Standing; Other useful skills include differential equations, matrix algebra, and computer programming Prof. Johanna Mathieu 4231 EECS Building jlmath@umich.edu Office hours: Tuesdays 10:30-11:30, Wednesdays 4:00-5:00pm Tuesdays, Thursdays 8:30-10:30am, roughly 3 hours/week will be used for lecture and 1 hour/week will be used for discussion 2315 GGBL 4 No textbook is required. However, we will use material from two recommended textbooks (listed below). All required material will be available on the course website. Additionally, the two books are on 4-hour reserve at the Art, Architecture, & Engineering Library. J.D. Glover, M.S. Sharma, and T.J.
