This is an introductory course on power systems analysis given at the Master's level at ULiège.

We will use eCampus for notifications, homework submissions, questions, etc.

Prerequisites:

• Notions of electrical circuits analysis (https://github.com/bcornelusse/livre_circuits_electriques_ELEC0053/)
• Notions of (complex) calculus
• Notions of scientific computing (we will use Python)

Instructors:

• Bertrand Cornélusse
• Geoffrey Bailly

talk-template

This a fork of the talk template https://github.com/glouppe/talk-template from Gilles Louppe, that uses remark for rendering slides from markdown, KaTeX for typesetting TeX equations, and some customised CSS.

Instructions for editing

• Clone this repository and move in this repository
• Start an HTTP server to serve the slides:

python -m http.server 8001

• Edit lectureX.md for making your slides.

• Use decktape for exporting slides to PDF:

  • download and install node.js (a recent version)

  • install decktape:

    npm install -g decktape

  • ensure an http server is running, e.g. on localhost at port 8001, from the directory where the sources are

    python -m http.server 8001

  • run decktape:

    decktape http://0.0.0.0:8001/?p=lecture7.md pdf/lecture7.pdf

Markup language

Slides are written in Markdown. See the remark documentation for further details regarding the supported features.

This template also comes with grid-like positioning CSS classes (see assets/grid.css) and other custom CSS classes (see assets/style.css)

Integration with GitHub pages

Slides can be readily integrated with GitHub pages by hosting the files in a GitHub repositery and enabling Pages in the Settings tab.

See e.g. https://glouppe.github.io/talk-template.
