Course Catalog Descriptions

Unless noted, all prerequisites for these courses are a first course in electric power engineering such as the WSU EE 361 – see FAQ on prerequisites for more information. All courses below are 3 credits each.

Fundamentals of distribution systems engineering, distribution system modeling and analysis, distribution load flow analysis, voltage regulation, recent advances in distribution automation.

Instructor: Anamika Dubey

Analysis and modeling of power electronics-based converters, steady state operation, converter topologies, non-ideal effects; power supplies; applications.

Instructor: Seyyedmilad Ebrahimi

Static and dynamic behavior of power systems, powerflow, and economic considerations.

Instructor: Mani

Course Prerequisite: E E 361 or equivalent with a C or equivalent. Design of electrical generation plants using wind, solar and other renewable energy sources, including technical, environmental and economic aspects.

Instructor: Javier Guerrero

Analysis and equipment fundamentals of power system protection; symmetrical components, fault calculations; fuses; and relays including burden calculations

Instructor: Saeed Lotfifard

 Protection of electrical equipment as related to electric power systems with emphasis on digital algorithms.

Instructor: Seyyedmilad Ebrahimi

Prereq: EE 491. Concepts and practices of modern power engineering, including steady-state and dynamic analysis, economics and control design.

Instructor: Anjan Bose

High voltage engineering concepts and techniques that facilitate the design, research, and development of modern electric power apparatus and interconnected components.

Instructor: Patrick Pedrow

Electrical analysis, performance, and design of high voltage transmission lines; power capacity, electromagnetic environment, electromagnetic compatibility, measurements, grounding.

Instructor: Robert Olsen

Economic dispatch and optimal power flow; electricity market; short-term load forecasting; electricity price forecasting; price-based unit commitment; arbitrage in electricity markets; market power analysis.

Instructor: TBD

Notes:

  1. Technical courses that fulfill the requirements of the degree are taught once per year. Elective courses are taught at least once every two years
  2. The offering of specific course in a given semester is subject to minimum enrollment constraints.
  3. Unless permission is granted, EE 701 (internship) is taken in the last semester of the program. It may be taken in the summer, but this is not recommended due to the faculty/mentor availability and the shorter time available to complete the project.
