Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Stimulating activities (simulation, games, drama)
Learning outcomes
This course provides students with the possibility to be acquainted with electrical power systems. Step by step, students get knowledge of electric production, distribution and electric consumption. They discuss issues of these areas, i.e. system studies, substation layouts, transformer, protection, breakers, construction and structure of line, testing and also measuring in electrical power systems. During this course students obtain comprehension and skills from electrical power systems, which they can use in practise as well as at other courses.
Attending the course, student should gain knowledge from the field of power engineering and power systems.
Prerequisites
It is assumed that student has already got a background knowledge from the field of electrical engineering and electronics.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination, Student performance assessment

Student has to be able to understand the problems solved during the winter semester. Lecturer will inform students about the specific requirements in the first week of the course.
