Design of Electric Power Systems and Utilities 

The aim of this course is to realize and design the main components of power system and utilities including generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization. Major subsystems and related components of the system including generation, transmission, distribution, control and protection will be investigated. Simulation exercises will be carried out for some subsystems if needed. The course will be taught based on lectures and project.
