Teaching Staff

Learning Objectives

• ELECTRIC POWER PRODUCTION AND TRANSMISSION
  

  To give basic understanding of the power system and the essential technical and economical aspects having influence on issues like the future electrical power system.

  The students achieve knowledge about the power grid and the main components involved under production, transmission of electric energy.

  The main principles and numerical tools for grid calculations are treated and will give experience and confidence for use hereof.

  The course forms the base for further education within power engineering, but is in general useful for all students aiming at some specialization within electrical energy systems.
