Note:
This class will meet for lectures only once a week on Tue at 5pm. The class includes a minimum (min) of four work-day long field trips to visit various power utility sites, including LGE&KU's advanced research facility with a 10MW solar PV plant, 1MW/2MWh battery, wind turbine, and state of the art transmission and distribution control centers. The students are recommended to attend in person all field trips, but only a min of any two trips is required for course completion. The trips will take place on Fridays during the regular term and students will be provided with an excuse note for other classes according to the UK rules for acceptable excuses. Two of the field trips will take place during the first part of the semester and the remainder will take place shortly after the academic spring break. There will be no lectures after the spring break. The class size is limited, and admission will be made based on applications submitted to the main course instructor, Dr. Dan M. Ionel (dan.ionel@uky.edu) by November 20, 2024. Preference will be given to students with demonstrated interest and knowledge in electric power engineering.
A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in electrical engineering such as biomedical instrumentation, digital filter design, active networks, advanced electrical devices, digital communications, display of electronics. May be repeated, but only three credits can be earned under the same title. Only nine credit hours may count toward degree requirements. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the EE 599 number.
