Innhold

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.
