Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:
- calculate, model, and represent graphically the steady state operation and performance of induction motors and generators;
- represent the closed-loop control models of statically-excited and brushless synchronous generators using Laplace techniques, and determine their time domain and s-plane performance;
- estimate the steady state and transient fault levels in simple power systems containing distributed generation;
- determine relay operating currents in overcurrent protection schemes and calculate clearance times, incorporating amplitude and time discrimination;
- represent the effects of transmission network faults and establish the typical response of protection relays. |
Assessment Information
| Assessment will be based on a single written paper of 90 minutes duration. |
