Objectives
Understand the constitution and operation of EPS. Be able to design, calculate and deal with high-voltage lines, substations and transformer stations. Become familiar with the different technologies used in supply grids, as well as distributed generation and micro-generation.
Program
1. Electric Power Systems (EPS)
- Characterization and operation of an EPS
2. Flow loads
- Per unit system method
3. Overhead and underground electrical power transmission
4. Distribution system
