About
About the course
Course content
Introduction to the basic characteristics and components of electric power networks. Analysis of electric power grids under stationary conditions.
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, exercises, laboratory work and project work.
Project assignment based on group work (A-F). Exercises and lab assignment must be approved in order to be admitted to the final exam. Mandatory work requirements are announced at the start of the course.
Compulsory assignments
- Lab
- Assessment
Further on evaluation
Part assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The parts includes a written exam (80 %) and a project work (20 %). 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 and laboratory work must be approved to be able to get access to the exam.
All students in the group project will normally receive the same grade based on the group answer. In special cases where a student has not contributed sufficiently, the student can be given an individual grade based on a documented lack of effort and/or workload.
Re-sit
A re-sit in August is offered for the written school exam. In the event of a re-sit, the examination form may be changed from written to oral. Re-take of the project must be done the next time the course is given.
