ECE 6640 - Power System Security Analysis

Meets with ECE 5640. Power system equipment is prone to many types of failures, weather-related outages, and (cyber/physical) attacks that may affect the reliability o the electricity service to the end-use consumers. This course starts with introducing the concepts and definitions of reliability and security in power systems. The course then introduces deterministic and stochastic models that the system operators utilize to ensure the security of power system operation against random failure and uncertainties.
