No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Introduction to system concepts; aspects of power system planning and operation. Energy sources; environmental and resource implications. Per-unit and coordinate systems. Representation of equipment such as generators, transformers and transmission lines in system analysis. Analysis of imbalanced systems and faults. Voltage and reactive power control. Load/frequency control. Power transfer and system stability. Introduction to load flow methods. High voltage dc transmission.
As printed in the 1990–91 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

“What are some of the best and/or most straightforward TEs for someone wanting to focus on the EE side of ECE? Already looking to take some of the power courses, but am stuck after that.”
