Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • explain fundamental consepts from the field of electrical power and energy
  • identify basic components of electrical power systems and explain their principles
  • perform calculations on power, energy, efficiency, motor torque and equivalent circuit parameters
  • assemble basic circuits of power systems according to circuit diagrams
  • measure and evaluate relevant parameters in electrical power systems and motors
  • explain the basics of electrical safety

Course Content

Electrical power engineering is the technology used to design power systems for the generation, transmission and distribution  of electrical energy. The course includes basic concepts for electrical power systems, such as single and three phase systems, power triangle and phase compensation. Included in the course are important components in electrical power systems and grids, for example transformers as well as direct current, asynchronous and synchronous motors. In addition, the basics of power electronics and transmission lines are included.

Because they are important in terms of practical experience, the course includes labs, where circuit assembly and measurements are made. The concept of electrical safety is included here.

Assessment
