Learning Outcomes
In this project the student will learn independent data acquisition and is introduced to a 110/20kV substation and the properties of the components of a medium voltage network it supplies and how to choose the components. The student learns electro-technical skills required in calculating rated values and fault current values for the design target and applying them in practical design and documentation. The student also learns team working skills, report writing skills and use of office tools and CAD applications.
Student's Workload
Total work load of the course 82 h
Scheduled studies 42 h
Autonomous studies 40 h
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
Calculation Methods of Circuits, Computer Aided Electrical Design, study units in the Power Distribution common core theme.
