Course content

The course introduces the electric power transmission and distribution. Content consists of four modules. First module discusses the mechanical and electric properties of common materials used in the energy industries. The second module contains the analysis of power transmission, power loss control and distribution optimization. The third module discusses the reliability and safety control on the power system, the EMC issue in the power supply, the environmental pollution from the power transmission. The last module discusses the harsh weather challenges on the energy distribution and the measurement approaches on the power distribution.

Objectives of the course

Knowledge 

On completion of the course, the student has broad knowledge and understanding of: 

  • the characteristics of the material for power distribution from microscopic to macroscopic perspective.  
  • the principle of transformation, transmission and distribution of the electric power. 
  • methods of accessing and controlling on power loss and understand the approaches to optimize power distribution. 
  • models of environmental impact assessment of the power transmission, and methods of disposal and prevention of electric and electronic waste. 

Skills 

On completion of the course, the student is able to: 

  • control and optimize the power transmission operation quantitatively and qualitatively.  
  • implement counter-measurement to mitigate the environmental impact due to operation of power distribution.  

General competence 

On completion of the course, the student has the following general competence.   

  • enhance the ability to work independently and in groups. 
  • develop engineering system in a systematic and comprehensive approach. 
  • improve the capacity to connect theoretical knowledge with the real industrial practices.
