Learning Outcomes

This unit aims to: 1. Introduce the students to types of power associated with different types of load. 2. Introduce the students to single and three phase transformers and its properties. 3. Introduce and provide the students with knowledge of DC and AC machines in terms of principle of construction, analysing, controlling and operating electrical machines. 4. Introduce students to theory and applications of induction and synchronous machines in power systems. 5. Give students the basic knowledge of the power systems and its main components. Upon completion of this module, the student will be able to: 1. Describe & solve the active, reactive and apparent power and distinguish the power factor and power triangle for different types of electrical load. 2. Describe and define the parameter, characteristics, and identify the properties of the single phase and three phase transformer system theoretically and practically. 3. Describe, differentiate and analyse the different types of DC machines in terms of construction, efficiency and control. Apply MATLAB software to compare the results both experimentally & by simulation. 4. Describe & explain the principle of construction, torque-speed characteristics and efficiency of both the induction and synchronous machines. 5. Justify the environmental effects of different types of power generation station and the role of engineers towards the society and the environment when designing such systems and the need of these stations for sustainable development.
