Synchronous Machine Theory College Courses

Synchronous Machine Theory College Courses

(OP)

Does anyone know of any good online college university courses that would be beneficial for gaining a better foundation for synchronous machine theory specifically related to synchronous generators. I've been doing of system protection recently involving generators and would like to gain a better foundation for the machine theory in addition to the other texts and resources that I have.

RE: Synchronous Machine Theory College Courses

Pitt03 - I recently compiled a listing of about 75 on-line Masters in Engineering programs at colleges and universities in the USA. Since I am retired from an electric utility and, years ago, had several college courses in electric machinery, anything similar to your subject probably would have caught my eye - did not see anything like that. If you look through each programs listing you may find something I missed: Link

Nice list. The University of Idaho listing should also include "Multiple Disciplines".

RE: Synchronous Machine Theory College Courses

University of Wisconsin Madison has the best programs of this type that I know of, especially through WEMPEC (Wisconsin Electric Machine and Power Electronics Consortium).

Here is a course I found for enrolled students: Theory and Control of Synchronous Machines

They have courses for off-campus degrees:

They also have several times a year on-campus multi-day courses for working engineers:

Thank your for all of the great suggestions. I will look at all of these and see what I come up with.
