BEE3101 Power Systems Theory

The course introduces the students to power systems engineering and covers basic principles about transmission lines (overhead and underground), transformers and generators in power systems.

Course Objectives
This course aims to:

• To introduce the students to fundamental concepts relating to the design and management of modern electrical power systems.
• To develop amongst the students an awareness of technical problems associated with operation of such systems.
• To teach the students basic theory and equip them with necessary analytical, numerical and modeling skills for handling particular problems.

Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Appreciate the complexity of operation of power systems
• Analyse simple cases of power system stability
• Identify some elements of automatic control in power systems
• Benefit from application of per unit system
