| Summary | This course provides students with a good knowledge and understanding of: the steady state performance of induction machines; the transient behaviour and control of synchronous machines; power system protection equipment; principles of overcurrent protection of power systems and machines; operation and protection of distributed generators. A number of relevant technical and engineering aspects of the analysis of steady state and transient performance of electrical machines and power supply systems will be considered in the context of operation, protection and control of power supply systems with distributed generation, including their application during the system design and operational stages. |

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Have an appreciation of a number of relevant technical and engineering aspects required for the analysis of electrical machines and power supply systems;
- Have a good knowledge and understanding of basic principles of operation, protection and control of power supply systems, electrical machines and their applications;
- Be able to perform calculations of steady state and transient performance of induction motors and synchronous generators and understand how simple power systems containing distributed generation should be designed, operated and protected;
- Understand basic principles of power system protection and be able to calculate or estimate short circuit fault currents and overcurrent protection settings, enabling their application during the design and operational stages.
