Overview

Engineers designing and managing electrical power networks need to be familiar with the mathematical tools and the computer-based techniques which are commonly used to analyse, operate and monitor such systems. The course deals with fault level calculation, power flow, power system stability and economic operation.

Course learning outcomes

  1. Use software packages for design and analysis of electrical power networks and investigate typical case study problems;
  2. Specify the requirements of electric supply system facilities and their operational details;
  3. Develop computer-based tools for specific applications in power system analysis, design and operation.
