Learning Outcomes: 1. Students will demonstrate the ability to conduct per unit conversion and power system circuit analysis to analyze power system operating conditions. 2. Students will be able to conduct analysis to design an energy delivery system for distributed energy resources using power electronic converters.. 3. Student will demonstrate the knowledge of the fundamentals and operations of a microgrid through homework assignments, quiz and examination.. 4. Students will demonstrate the knowledge of voltage sourced converters control design through course projects focused on simulation validation. 5. Students will be able to use power system simulation tools introduced in the class to conduct simulation validation.

Tentative Schedule of Classes: Week Subject 1-2 Fundamentals of electric distribution systems Power electronics systems for utility integration of 3-4 the distributed energy resources 5 Microgrid and its elements Voltage sourced converter (VSC) control and 6-7 operation in a power delivery system 8 Midterm exam 9-14 Operation and control of a Microgrid 15 Term course project and course review General Info: The midterm exam and the final exam are closed book and closed notes. One formula sheet (both sides of 8.5” x 11” paper) is allowed for the exams. The formula sheet should be handwritten originals, not photocopied. The final exam is comprehensive. It will cover all the material presented in the course. If, for some extremely important, verifiable reason, you cannot take the midterm exam at the scheduled time, the instructor must be notified and your final exam score will be counted for the midterm and final exams. Questions concerning a grade given for any assignment, quiz, lab, project or exam must be presented to the instructor within 5 days after the grade is received.
Software and Labs: The software, Matlab/SimPower, PSCAD/EMTDC (https://pscad.com) will be used in class for homework assignment and software projects. All students are required to attend the lab sessions (ENB 235) in person.
Academic Integrity: The Students attending USF are awarded degrees in recognition of successful completion of coursework in their chosen fields of study. Each individual is expected to earn his/her degree on the basis of personal effort. Consequently, any form of cheating on examinations or plagiarism on assigned papers or projects constitutes unacceptable deceit and dishonesty. Disruption of the classroom or teaching environment is also unacceptable. These cannot be tolerated in the University community and will be punishable, according to the seriousness of the offense, in conformity with the rules set out in the USF Undergraduate Catalog.
