Such a perception can be justified by the fact that thepower program in our school has recently seen an increased enrollment partially attributed to ourfaculty using advanced software tools to educate the students. This in turn allows for continuousimprovement of the curriculum so that it stays modern and attached to the trends of the ever-expanding power systems engineering field.Bibliography1. G.T. Heydt & V.

The effort described here was initiatedfor a first course in the area of power systems and energy conversion for undergraduates. Thiscourse follows a course in circuit analysis. The specific topics for the calculation modulesthought to be most useful would be for illustration of phasors as related to a 3-phase system,transformer circuit modeling and circuit analysis, and rotating machine (DC, 3-phase ACinduction and synchrous) modeling and analysis.Undergraduate students who have recently taken this class are the primary participants in thedesign and development of the modules.

A typical problem is: given the current growth rate of oilproduction, in what year will known reserves be depleted? The exponential growth model,although offering reasonable results initially, becomes less accurate in the later stages of resourceexploitation as issues of scarcity, cost, and technological hurdles become important. It grosslyunder predicts how long a

Such an example is heating water usingconventional gas/electric water heaters or renewable energy such as solar power or geothermalpower. Currently, most widely used method to heat water is by burning fossil fuels. This is oftena large factor in determining the pollution caused by heating water for commercial or residentialuse. Despite the availability of renewable energy resources, the innovations that rely upon thesealternative sources are not viable due to their uncontrollable nature and economic factors.
