Prof. Bruce Wollenberg

Power Generation, Operation, and Control, 3rd Edition

A comprehensive reference on the engineering and economic methods used in modern power-system operation. Allen J. Wood, Bruce F. Wollenberg, and Gerald B. Sheblé integrate generation-unit modeling, constrained optimization, economic dispatch, unit commitment, limited-energy scheduling, transmission-system effects, security analysis, optimal power flow, state estimation, automatic generation control, interchange, auctions, and short-term demand forecasting, with worked examples and computational methods for integrated economic and network analysis.

Power Generation, Operation & Control

50 modules Slides Lab Video

Graduate-level treatment of the economic, optimization, network-analysis, scheduling, and control methods used to operate modern electric-power systems. The course develops generation-unit cost models, economic dispatch, unit commitment, limited-energy scheduling, power flow, security analysis, optimal power flow, state estimation, automatic generation control, interchange, auctions, power markets, and financial transmission rights through 23 lecture modules and 27 worked problem sessions.

Power Generation, Operation & Control Laboratory

11 experiments Simulation

MATLAB-based laboratory for generation scheduling and power-system operations. Eleven modular experiments cover economic dispatch, unit commitment, limited-energy scheduling, power flow and losses, security analysis, DC and AC optimal power flow, state estimation, market auctions, and financial transmission rights using supplied code, spreadsheets, and standard network cases.

NSF-Sponsored Workshop Courses — Summer 2019

This NSF-sponsored online workshop introduced faculty to six graduate-level electric-power courses developed by their course creators through Office of Naval Research support. Participants could review and adopt complete CUSP course materials in power systems, power electronics, electric drives, and finite-element machine design.

Remotely Accessible Hardware Labs for Education and Research in Power Electronics, Power Systems, and Electric Drives

This virtual workshop presented compact, safe-voltage, remotely accessible laboratories developed for education and research in electric drives, power electronics, and power systems. Sessions connected the laboratory platforms to CUSP courses and demonstrated undergraduate, graduate, and pipeline-level experiments using Sciamble Workbench.

Teaching Electric Energy Courses to Rejuvenate Electric Power Curriculum

Join faculty nationwide for a focused workshop showcasing ONR-funded, CUSP-hosted courses in power electronics, machines & drives, and power systems. Explore ultra-low-cost, digitally controlled online laboratories with remote access for teaching and research, plus options for online MS delivery. Hear from leaders at NSF, ONR, IEEE PES, NAE, and partner universities—and leave with ready-to-adopt curricula and lab resources.

NSF-Sponsored ECE Department Heads and Faculty Online Workshop: Dissemination of Electric Power Courses/Laboratories Developed through ONR Funding

This NSF-sponsored online workshop for ECE department heads and faculty shares a three-prong approach to strengthening electric power engineering education: (1) creating a pipeline of high school graduates into ECE programs through two pipeline courses focused on climate solutions, (2) facilitating teaching of senior/graduate-level courses in power systems, power electronics, and electric machines/drives using freely downloadable course materials hosted by CUSP, and (3) providing hands-on education using extremely low-cost ONR-funded hardware laboratories that can also be accessed remotely.
