Electrical Power Networks and Devices

Development of electric power networks and general division of power networks. Complex quantities and systems of components. Mechanical parameters of overhead power lines, construction of lines, and electrical parameters of power lines.

Composition of high voltage power cables, construction of power cables, impedances of single-core and three-core cables. Loading criteria of power networks. Electrical parameters of two winding and three winding transformers, synchronous generators and asynchronous machines.

Types of power substations with different implementations of switchyards. High voltage switching technology – circuit breakers and other switching devices.

Classical power factor correction devices, passive filters and reactors. Modern compensation devices with power electronics modules.

Distributed power sources and active distribution networks.

The student will acquire the knowledge of main elements and devices of electrical power networks and the basic knowledge of mathematical modelling and parameters of electrical power elements used in power systems analysis.

Lectures, tutorials (auditory practice and laboratory work).
