This includes:
- Three phase system and per phase representation
- Transmission and distribution networks with associated switching systems, transformer stations, lines/cables and other components
- Symmetrical and asymmetrical grids
- Voltage drop, loss and compensation in point to point transfer
- Inductance and capacitance of cables
- Modelling of transmission lines
- Load and short circuit calculations
- Power transformer characteristics and equivalent diagram
- Per unit description
- Load flow calculations
- Developments in future electrical energy systems
Learning outcome
Knowledge
After completing the course, students should:
- have basic knowledge of electric power networks
- know the basic characteristics and structure of power systems
- understand the main physical and technical characteristics of the power grid
- know the most basic methods for performing power transmission calculations
Skills
Students should be able to:
- obtain basic skills in power grid operation
- perform short circuit and load calculations
- apply per unit models and admittance matrices
- perform load flow calculations General competence
- use analytical methods
- work independently and in groups
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises. Project assignments based on group work (A/F). Exercises and the project assignment must be submitted for admission to the final exam. Mandatory work requirements are announced at the start of the course.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercise
Further on evaluation
Part assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The parts includes a written exam (60%) and project work (40%). The results for the parts are given in A-F grades, which are later merged to a final grade. Both the written exam and project must be passed to receive a grade in the course. If you fail one of the parts, this must be re-taken to pass the course.
Mandatory exercises must be approved to be able to get access to the exam.
Re-sit exam is offered for the written school exam. It will be held in May/June. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral. The project must be re-taken the next time the course is given.
