1 Electric Power and Energy Systems Engineering Program An Overview R. Ayyanar 2/17/2016 1

2 Quiz National Academy of Engineering s selection for the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th Century? Electrification Single largest, most complex machine ever built? Electric utility system in North America 2

3 ASU electric power and energy systems program ASU has the one of the largest electric power and energy systems programs in the country today Relative to other universities, we are the most diverse in terms of research expertise, simulation tools, and experimental capabilities ASU s program is among the top three programs in the nation in research excellence and recognition (has 3 National Academy of Engineering members) Our graduates have an excellent record with employers and also in graduate school Excellent employment opportunities it is difficult to outsource power engineering 3

4 The ASU power area faculty members Raja Ayyanar Kory Hedman Gerald Heydt Keith Holbert George Karady Qin Lei Lalitha Sankar Jiangchao Qin Daniel Tylavsky John Undrill Vijay Vittal Dr. Junshan Zhang, a faculty affiliate to the power area 4

5 Employment in power engineering With the deregulation of the electric utility industry construction of new transmission lines and new power plants has lagged the need for these facilities Within the next decade the electric power industry will, of necessity, engage in large infrastructure development, especially in the development of renewable energy resources In addition, estimates are that 50% of the utility engineering workforce will retire within 10 years The availability of U.S. trained engineers will be insufficient to meet the needs of the industry 5

6 Undergrad power courses EEE 360 Energy Systems and Power Electronics EEE 460 Nuclear Power Engineering EEE 463 Electrical Power Plants EEE 470 Electric Power Devices EEE 471 Power System Analysis EEE 472 Power Electronics EEE 473 Electrical Machinery EEE Senior Design Projects 6

7 Concentration in electric power and energy systems Requirements for the concentration are A non-engineering course directly addressing issues pertaining to energy (e.g., GCU 364 Energy in the Global Arena [SB, G], GPH 405 Energy and Environment); EEE 360 Energy Systems and Power Electronics (4); At least 9 hours of electrical engineering technical electives in the power and energy area, which may include any combination of the following courses: EEE 46x/47x and approved EEE 498 special topics courses (e.g., Solar Energy), and At most one of either IEE 300 or 431; A capstone senior design project (EEE ) in the EPES field of study as approved by the EE Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies. 7

8 Power senior technical electives What power courses should you take? Three subdivisions of the power technical electives 1. Power generation 2. Transmission and distribution (T&D) 3. Electricity utilization Includes: power electronics, machines, innovative uses, policy Includes: power markets, renewable resources, distributed generation Includes: power systems, high voltage, electronic solutions, control Generation T&D Utilization 8

9 Aircrafts and ships are mobile power systems (all three power area subdivisions) 9

10 Renewable energy Possibly the most transformative factor in future power and energy systems Two types of solar energy: photovoltaic and concentrated solar Concentrated solar 10

11 1. Power generation EEE 460 Nuclear Power Engineering Radioactivity and decay. Radiation interactions and dose. Nuclear reaction, fission and fusion theory. Fission reactors, four factor formula, moderation. Nuclear power, TMI, Chernobyl. Nuclear fuel cycle. EEE 463 Electrical Power Plants Generation of electric power using fossil, nuclear and renewable, including solar, geothermal, wind, hydroelectric, biomass and ocean, energy sources. Power plant thermal cycle analysis. Cogeneration and combined cycles. Economics, operations, and design of electric power stations. Energy storage. 11

12 Students are attracted to power engineering because they like to work on important things it is NOT ALL THEORY 12

13 2. Transmission and distribution EEE 470 Electric Power Devices Analyzes devices used for short circuit protection, including circuit breakers, relays, and current and voltage transducers. Protection against switching and lightning over voltages. Insulation coordination. EEE 471 Power System Analysis Review of transmission line parameter calculation. Zero sequence impedance, symmetrical components for fault analysis, short circuit calculation, review of power flow analysis, power system stability, and power system control concepts. 13

14 Power Electronics (fast switches) DC/DC, AC/DC and DC/AC converters with power semiconductor devices Google data center Smart, efficient appliances Modern LED lighting All electric vehicle EV charger 14

15 3. Electric energy utilization EEE 472 Power Electronics Fundamentals of power electronics, design-oriented analysis of power electronic converters, PLECS based simulations, modern applications EEE 473 Electrical Machinery Operating principles and modeling of different types of electric machines including DC, brushless DC, induction, permanent magnet and conventional synchronous machines; control aspects of these machines within modern electric drives for applications such as industry automation, energy conservation through variable speed drives, wind generators and electric vehicles.
