How is electric power produced?


n n

Students have not had a machines course Most students have not had a thermodynamics course Most students do not know how electric power is produced

What does three phase mean?


n n

Most introductory circuit analysis courses do not teach three phase Most do not cover AC power adequately Reactive power? Transformers?

What is The Grid

How do we make connections at 345kV?


n n n

Whats so special about circuit breakers? Why also have disconnect switches? Why do we raise and lower voltage?

What can go wrong?


n

Fault analysis using symmetrical components Protection with relays

Why are students so excited about renewables?

Wind Generation
n

How do we generate at 60 Hz from variable speed wind?

What can go wrong with wind generation?

Will we need more transmission? You betcha!
