) 1 = 0.6636 sin = 2.2282 sin .It is assumed now that at some arbitrary time, say 0 = 0, a three-phase-to-ground short circuitoccurs on line 1–3 at bus 3. The fault is subsequently cleared by opening circuit breakers locatedat the ends of lines 1–3 and 2–3. The faulted network is depicted in Figure 3(a). To compute theelectrical power 2 delivered by the generator during the fault, it is convenient to find theThévenin equivalent of the faulted network (see Figure 3(b)), as viewed from the generatorinternal voltage source. During the fault, Th = + + 12 13 = 0.35 + 0.15
section.3 Negative Impedance Converter (NIC)3.1 TheoryConsider the circuit shown in Fig. 7. Page 15.27.5 Figure 7: The NIC, the op-amp used in simulation is the LMC6482. We will derive the i − v characteristic of the circuit above as seen from terminals a-b. Thei − v graph can be derived by considering the three operating regions of the op-amp, just likethe case of the positive and negative feedback op-amp circuits. Refer to Appendix B for thederivation. A plot of the i − v graph, with the following component values: R1 = 1kΩ, R2 =1kΩ, R3 = 1kΩ,Vsat = 5 V , is shown in Fig. 8 Figure 8: Plot of the Negative Impedance

In the screenshotbelow (Fig. 2), a six-router network is illustrated, with the routing tables shown at each router ashort time after the link from router B to E has broken down. Currently there is a routing looparound routers A, B and C: any packet being sent to destination network f will be passed aroundbetween these routers until the packet times out, despite the existence of a perfectly valid path tothe destination.

The programs available for P-12 teachers include: a) customized professional development, b) a 12-credit graduate certificate in engineering education for in-service teachers, andThe graduate certificate program is designed for in-service P-12 educators who want hands-onexperience in engineering. The certificate program is a rigorous introduction to the engineeringcontent with emphasis placed on the application of the course material in P-12 classrooms. Theprogram helps the teachers develop the knowledge, skills, and competency

This table reflects the five yearversion which is taken by the majority of students. With respect to where the emulator fits, onefinds a few options: a) as an experimental component module of the sequence of lab courses thatrun from Years 3-5; b) as an experimental module within one of two junior (Year 4) level powerengineering courses called ECEP354 Energy Management Systems and c) as a experimentalmodule within the second quarter of the three course sequence in Power Systems (ECEP401, 402and 403) offered to all power engineering majors.
