Course Description

This course covers the details of the different methodologies involved in the economic
operation of power systems, which particularly involves modeling of an objective function that
will be subject to a set of constraints. This highly involves the use of the Lagrange Function to
better equip students in formulating mathematical algorithms for economic operations in
power systems. This course shall also discuss the different processes involved in the control
of power systems.

Other Course Policies

a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be
more than 20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hours for a three-unit-course.
Students incurring more than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a
failing grade regardless of class standing.
b. Submission of Assessment Tasks
Late submissions of design reports will not be accepted.
c. Written Examination
The final examination will be the summative assessment of the COs and will cover
all topics of the course.
d. Course Portfolio
Selected design reports and examinations are to be compiled and collected before
the end of the term. The selection is based on statistical data gathering (lowest,
median, and highest). Learning tasks and examinations with marks lowest, median,
and highest must be photocopied and must be given back to the instructor for
course portfolio keeping.
e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken
work may receive a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in
English.
f.

Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the Institute. We
have all committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be expected in this class
that each of us will honor the commitments that we have made.
For this course the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on written work
and no cheating on exams. Proper citation must be given to authors whose works
were used in the process of developing instructional materials and learning in this
course. If a student is caught cheating on an exam, he or she will be given zero
mark for the exam. If a student is caught cheating twice, the student will be referred
to the Prefect of Student Affairs and be given a failing grade.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the EECE Faculty room
and in the Schools web-page (http://www.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that
the student first set an appointment to confirm the instructors availability.
