Course content:
Structure and organization electric power systems. Cooperation between power systems. Power networks. Transmission and distribution subsystems. Power losses and voltage drops in low voltage electric networks.
Power generation technologies. Energy conversion in power plants. Rankine cycle (the simplest cases). Steam power plant. Renewables. Protection relays. Criteria of identification of disturbances in power systems. Main ideas of protective relays operation. The practical analysis of basic power industry problems in the laboratories: currents and power flows, voltage drops in low voltage networks; regulating processes in wind and nuclear power stations, measurements of power and energy in 1-phase and 3-phase systems, analysis of thermal processes in electrical conductors.
Learning outcomes: Getting the knowledge on fundamentals in power generation, transmission and distribution as well as power system operation.
