POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

Catalog description

Three credit-hours. Three hours of lecture per week. This course deals with power transmission and distribution systems analysis and design. Topics include transmission line characteristics, inductance and capacitance calculations of overhead lines, steady -state analysis, transmission losses, and transmission system design. In the distribution system ar ea, the topics covered include distribution system analysis, voltage regulation, and distribution system design. The course provides a practical insight into the analysis of transmission and distribution systems. Students will apply quantitative reasoning and modern engineering tools to analyze and design power systems and use critical thinking to evaluate the performance of power systems encountered in residential and commercial energy distribution systems.
