Learning outcome

After successfully completing the course, the candidate will have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence.

Knowledge

The candidate can:

• Give a description of key concepts in Electrical Power Systems
• Explain the various calculation methods, differentiate between them and justify when they should be applied

Skills

The candidate can:

• Master the use of complex mathematical calculations in single and 3-phase circuits
• Carry out calculations of various factors relating to transfer systems
• Use relevant simulation tools associated with electrical equipment and interpret results
• Use metering devices in Electrical Power Systems through laboratory work

General competence

The candidate can:

Course Description

The course describes and explains the various calculation techniques in the transmission of electrical energy.

• Apply and understand complex calculations in which phasors (angle and direction) are used for recognizing symmetrical and asymmetrical three-phase circuits and solving various problems.
• Voltage drop (ΔU), power loss (ΔP), and the calculation of short-circuit currents.
• Enter relevant data in the computer tools, process and analyze the results and provide assessments.
• Draw a circuit diagram of a 3-phase transmission line, connect both circuit and associated measuring equipment in the laboratory. Perform the necessary measurements and communicate conclusions and assessments of results (students working individually or with others in a group).
• Knowledge of the SmartGrid concept.

Teaching and Learning Methods

Lectures, exercises, use of computer tools, demonstrations, excursions and laboratory exercises.
