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 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

  • 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 parts must have a minimum "E" grade to receive a final grade in the course.

Mandatory exercises and laboratory work must be approved to be able to get access to the exam. If there is a re-sit examination in August, the examination form may change from written to oral.
