Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses

Calculation Methods of Circuits and Electricity Transmission

Contents

The student understands the structure of power system, the basic properties of power plants and generation and power transmission and power distribution network. The student calculates the voltage drop in a network and the loading capacity of cable in different installation conditions. The fault current calculations form a significant part of the course. With the help of PC exercises the student understands the possibilities given by modern calculation tools.
