Aims of the teaching

The objective of this course is to provide basic knowledge about electrical grids and the connections of these grids with loads. The three-phase grid will be covered, but also the modelling tools and models useful for the study of microgrids.

Intended Learning outcomes (measured by the assessment)

Be able to study a 3 phases circuit

Be able to calculate active and reactive power in 3phase circuit

Understand the operation of 3 phase transformers

Be able to realize a power system analysis (Load Flow analysis with MatPower Software)

Understand basics of power electronics

Be able to model an inverter/rectifier for control purposes

Be able to model a synchronous generator for control purposes
