Fundamentals of Electrical and Power Engineering, 5 op

Core content

• Basic concepts and laws in electrical circuit theory: e.g. the current and voltage relationship in the various electric circuit components, Kirchhoff's laws and their application to solve electrical circuit problems and Thevenin's and Norton's methods to solve electrical circuit problems
• The electrical power network (layout and description of the main components, voltage levels, per-unit notation), phasor notation, electrical power
• Modelling of power system components: transmission lines, transformers, rotating machines, loads
• Nodal analysis: formation of Ybus and Zbus and what they are used for. Symmetrical components and related transformations and what they are used for.
• Basics of distribution network calculation
• Introduction to Laplace transform and its application to solve the time-domain behaviour of electrical circuits, introduction to the properties of first-and second-order systems, introduction to system dynamics including stability and frequency-domain behaviour of electrical systems, introduction to resonant circuits
