Justin has developed the following course at UBC and is teaching it on an annual basis:
EECE571D – Power Electronics for Modern Power Systems
This course introduces the application of power electronics in power systems. It presents the modeling and control of voltage-sourced converters (VSCs), in the context of power generation, transmission, and distribution. Applications covered in this course include flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), clean energy integration, high-voltage DC (HVDC) grids, and microgrids/standalone power systems. Control, communication, and protection schemes for these applications are also discussed.
Example course topics include:
