Entry requirements

60 credits in science/engineering including Basics of Electrical Engineering II: Electric Circuit Theory. Basics of Electrical Engineering III: Field Theory. Transform Methods should have been attended.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• calculate active and reactive effects in electrical networks,
• account for the structure of the three-phase system, including components and their function,
• perform measurements and calculations of losses and power flows in transmission lines,
• perform measurements and calculations of losses and power flows in single phase and three-phase transformers,
• perform measurements and calculations of losses and power flows for synchronous generators,
• account for ethical aspects of the generation and consumption of electricity.

Content

Electrical power system: Three-phase system and AC transmission of electric power. Equivalents of constituent components:

transformers, rotary machines (motors and generators), switchgear , transmission lines and cables as well as accessories. Ethical aspects of generation and consumption of electricity.

Instruction

Lectures, calculations and laboratory work.

Assessment

Written exam (3 credits). Laboratory work (2 credits).

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.
