Take an in-depth look at the electrical grid, including conventional generation, transmission and distribution, and new renewable generation technologies. Issues including grid stability, the increase in variable generation on the grid, and how the electrical grid will change in the future will be addressed.  Formerly numbered ECEN 5007.

The goal of this class is to explain the electrical grid at a technical level but without requiring an electrical engineering background, providing you with an industry-level understanding of the electrical grid.
