General Information

Overview

In this unit, you will model basic power system components and electrical machines using simplified linear equivalent circuits. You will explain the relationship between power and energy, and calculate power and energy in power networks and electrical machines. You will apply problem-solving techniques in the analysis of balanced three-phase power circuits using per-unit methodology. You will also investigate and compare the construction and operational characteristics of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electrical machines. You will explain different drive system topologies for the electrical machines. You will explain electrical machine protection and control schemes. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle site for proposed dates.
