ELEC4100 - Electrical Systems

UNITS10
LEVEL4000
Faculty of Engineering and Built EnvironmentSchool of Electrical Engineering and Computing

DESCRIPTION
Students will familiarise themselves with the operation and behaviour of electrical power systems. The course introduces participants to the physical
and electrical properties of equipment used in power systems, and the analytical techniques used in their planning, operation and evaluation. The
course will provide students with the opportunity to develop a range of skills necessary to analyse, plan, design and operate the various equipment
used in power systems.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
On successful completion of the course students will be able to:
1. Develop a familiarisation with the equipment used in power systems, and knowledge of the physical and electrical properties of this equipment.
2. Develop the analytical skills used in the planning, design, operation and evaluation of power systems, and understand the limitations of each analysis tool
learned.
3. Develop computer based simulation skills for power system analysis.
4. Develop a broad understanding of issues associated with power systems operation, including technical (e.g reliability and redundancy) and non-technical (e.g
market factors).

CONTENT
The course material will be drawn from the following topic areas:

1. Review of fundamental knowledge

2. Steady state system analysis
