POWER ENGINEERING

About this Course

Course Description

This subject is divided into two major components: foundations in power systems and an introduction to electrical energy and machines. The power systems component provides an introductory overview of the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy. This segment places significant emphasis on system representation, basic per-unit concepts, and transmission line modeling. The electrical energy and machines component focuses on three-phase calculations, basic transformer theory, and the study of common electric machines. It particularly emphasizes DC machines while also providing an introductory course on AC machines. This thorough approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of electrical energy and machinery.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Analyse the principles of power system and electrical machines to solve electrical engineering problems
2 ) Examine the performance of electrical machines based on specified conditions
3 ) Determine the transmission line performance for different power system networks.
