Credit Points:

7.1

Prerequisite/s:

431-217 Power 2

Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

26 hours of lectures and 13 hours of tutorials and project work

Objectives:

On completion of this subject students should:

  • be able to construct models of electrical power components such as transformers, transmission lines, dc and three-phase ac machines, and advanced ac/dc and dc/dc converters;

  • be able to apply these component models to a wide range of calculations concerning steady-state system and plant performance.
