My second “lab” for ECE4464: Power Systems II studied the effects of distributed generation (in particular, a large-scale wind turbine generation project) on the power system. Like ECE3333 (Power Systems I), this course is being taught by Prof. Rajiv Varma, Ph.D.
Using PowerWorld’s Simulator software, we connected a large four-reactor nuclear generation plant (750MW per reactor, [...]

A Quick Primer on Power Factor
Posted in Electrical Engineering, tagged Economics, Electrical Engineering, Infrastructure, Power Factor, Power Systems, Synchronous Machines on 27 November 2009 | Leave a Comment »
In the study of electrical engineering, power factor comes up quite often in terms of its various mathematical definitions, but people seem to overlook its real-world relevance. Though there are some regulations governing power factor, the way residential users are billed for electricity often leaves us in blissful ignorance of the importance of power factor. [...]

Recently, I completed my first “lab” for ECE4464: Power Systems II. Like ECE3333 (Power Systems I), this course is being taught by one of the most inspiring professors I have ever had, Prof. Rajiv Varma, Ph.D.
Using PowerWorld’s Simulator software, we repeated one of our basic labs from ECE3333 as an introduction to computerized modelling of [...]
