60 credits in science/engineering including basic courses in electronics, e.g. Electronics I or Electromagnetism II with Electric Circuits, Electrical Engineering II: Electric Circuit Theory.
Learning outcomes
After a successfully completed course the student should be able to:
- explain the basic alternating current (AC) theory,
- describe the function and structure of the three-phase system, including components and their function,
- calculate active and reactive power loads occurring in electrical networks,
- perform losses and power flow calculations in transmission lines,
- calculate losses and power flows in single-phase and three-phase transformers,
- perform loss and power flow calculations for synchronous generators.
Content
Electric power system: three phase system, AC theory, AC transmission of electrical power, equivalents of input components such as synchronous generators, transformers, rotating machines, transmission lines (cables, overhead lines) and loads.
Instruction
Lectures.
Assessment
Written exam (4 credits), as well as written and oral presentations of assignments (1 credit).
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
