Power Systems 2

وصف المساق

 Focuses on advanced topics in power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. It covers power system stability, fault analysis, protection systems, and power flow analysis using tools like load flow and short-circuit calculations. Students learn to design and optimize power networks for reliable and efficient operation.
