Engineering 325 - Seminar: Sustainable Electric Power Systems

Electric power systems across the globe, from continental to neighborhood-sized grids-are undergoing a comprehensive shift referred to as "The Energy Transition." In this course, students learn modeling and analysis tools for integrating alternative energy sources (including geothermal and new storage technologies), as well as conventional technologies, into power systems. The class  discusses barriers and possible solutions to the widespread desire to electrify everything, when the electric power grid itself is not yet sustainable, clean or reliable enough to absorb the new demand for electricity. Prerequisite: EGR 220. Enrollment limited to 12. Junior and senior engineering majors only.

[CE] JR/SR only, EGR majors only; Prereq: EGR 220
