ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM ENGINEERING
92329
Description
Objectives
This course discusses the basic operation and design issues of the systems that distribute electricity, the most flexible form of energy; the course focuses on the distribution within users’ premises: the residential, industrial, or commercial electrical installations. After a successful completion of the course, students should be able: a. To explain how the electrical distribution systems work b. To choose the architecture of basic electrical installations, and their components as well c. To explain the electrical danger, and to choose the measures reducing the risk of electric shock
Syllabus
a) Introduction: electricity chain; recalls
b) Structure of electric power systems: subsystems and functions; voltage levels
c) Electrical installations: physics laws, rules and regulations; components; architectures; design for normal and abnormal operating conditions
d) Electrical safety: effects of the current in the human body; current in the ground; touch and step voltages; protection against electric shocks.
