Learning outcomes
Students having taken the course are expected to have gained a solid understandíng of the electric circuit theory, concepts and methods that are essential to understand the information given in the reminder of the MSc course. They should be able to: (i) calculate and analyse the steady-state and dynamic behaviour of simple electrical circuits; (ii) understand the three-phase nature of practical electrical power networks and the analytical tools that are available to power engineers to bring them down to manageable levels suitable for analysis; (iii) determine the impedance parameters of electrical power equipment
