To equip students with the electrical system’s fundamental concepts related to electrical machines and power systems, which include but not limited to rotating magnetic fields, co-energy, machine equivalent circuits, power generation, transmission, and distribution, as well as the relevant analytical methods such as machine performance prediction, steady-state and transient analyses, and power flow study.
A. Understand the physical laws of electromagnetism and mechanics in electrical machines in analyzing their performance and characteristics, as well as the physical rules in power generation, transmission and distribution. B. Analyze different electrical machines or power system issues by classical methodologies, such as equivalent circuits, complex number theory and rotating magnetic fields. C. Solve power flow and dynamics in power system and synchronizing of synchronous machines, predict performance of various machines. D. Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning. E. Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks of power system.
This module will be delivered through a combination of formal lectures, tutorials and supervised laboratory sessions.
