| The unit provides an understanding of the analysis, design, construction, operation, and evaluation of power systems. Topics include voltage characteristics of loads; control of power and frequency; control of voltage and reactive power; calculation of transmission line parameters in bundled and non-bundled three phase transmission systems, transmission efficiency and voltage drops calculations; load flow analysis; analysis of symmetrical faults; symmetrical components and asymmetrical faults; protection of power system equipment; power system stability; HVDC transmission; quality aspects of electrical power. Students will have the opportunity to critically evaluate different design methods and apply their integrated knowledge to practical situations. |
