Aims and Fit of Module

To equip the students with the knowledge and understanding of power circuit fundamentals and power system components and their relationship with the energy conversion and delivery processes, as well as advanced principles and analyses including but not limited to power network topology, power transmission line model and analysis, sequence analysis, and nodal analysis.

Learning outcomes

A. Describe the role of power systems in society and the independent components/functions.
B. Discuss the importance of alternative energy sources, including the conversion from the original form to electrical energy.
C. Evaluate the impact of renewable energy penetration on power system infrastructure.
C. Analyse the relationship between real power flow with the phase difference across a line, and also the relationship between reactive ower flow with voltage magnitude ifference.
D. Understand the application of machine and transformer equivalent circuits to power system analysis and able to perform calculations in per unit system.
E. Apply the equivalent circuits of the different pieces of equipment to derive a circuit description of the power system.
F. Appraise the steady-state operation and the related calculation of a power system in the per-unit system.

Method of teaching and learning
