Abstract

In part I of this lecture, we motivate the historic transformation of our power systems in the coming decades, with its opportunities and challenges.  We introduce basic concepts in alternating current (ac) power systems, including phasor representation, balanced three-phase systems, per-phase analysis, and complex power.  We present simple models of transmission lines, transformers, and generators.
