EE 554: Large Scale Power Systems (Winter 2024)

This is a graduate class that introduces power system operations from a modern point of view. No power engineering background is required. We focus on modeling, algorithms and understanding the open problems that is facing today’s grid. Course website

EE 552 Power System Dynamics and Stability (Fall 2022)

Graduate level class on how to think about power system dynamics, from various models to current challenges. We will develop a rigorous way of looking at system dynamics and explain what measures are taken and what control schemes are implemented to maintain the stability of power systems. We will get to a point where we can read and understand advanced methods as described in recent papers published in the scientific literature. Course Website

EE 555 PMP: Data Science for Power Systems (Spring 2022)

Graduate level class on using data science tools in power systems. This course explores how data is generated in power systems and how are new technologies impacting the amount and quality of datasets, understanding popular data processing and analytic techniques, implementing existing packages to solve problems and using machine learning methods to answer questions about power system operations.
