Introduction to Electric Power Systems
Course Overview
The students achieve knowledge about the power grid and the main components involved under production, transmission and distribution of electric energy. The main principles and numerical tools for grid calculations are treated and will give experience and confidence for use hereof.
Course Highlights
The course forms the base for further education within power engineering, but is in general useful for all students aiming at some specialization within electrical energy systems.
MAIN GOAL
To give a basic understanding of electrical power systems and the essential aspects having influence on issues affecting future systems.
Learning Outcomes
After completion of this course, you will gain the ability to:
- + Identify differences between a simple electric circuit and a three-phase power system.
- + Explain the structure of a power system.
- + Describe power system components and explain their functions.
- + Select appropriate models for power system components.
- + Calculate power system quantities by means of the per-unit system.
- + Determine operational limits in a power system.
- + Calculate balanced three-phase short circuit currents.
- + Explain the power flow problem and approaches to solve it.
- + Summarize operation principles of a power system in terms of control of voltage, active and reactive power.
- + Design a realistic power system.
- + Evaluate the overall performance of a power system under different operating scenarios by means of a power flow program.
