Reason for Content beyond Syllabus:

The prescribed syllabus does not include the practical methods and latest technologies. In
order to meet the recent trends in the power system field, these topics are included. These therefore
strengthen the course outcomes CO 4 and CO 5 enabling the students to meet the industry
requirements.
