Module goal - Knowledge and skill to be achieved by students |
|
| The goal of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge about planning and development of modern power system. To reach this goal, main elements of planning process and principles will be presented. More specificially, load and energy forecast methods will be presented, as well as present value method as base for planning of power system development. Students should reach basic knowledge of generation capacities development, transmission and distribution networks and industrial electric power systems. <br> |

Syllabus |
|
| 1. Important elements for electric power system planning and development (consumers, sources, transmission and distribution network, industrial system - characteristics, losses, costs ...). <br> 2. Planning principles (criteria of stability, security, reliability, quality and economy). <br> 3. Load and energy forecast (load pattern, duration of load, forecast methods). <br> 4. Present value method (principle of capital value actualization, economic evaluation of investments). <br> 5. Planning of generation develompent (electric power balance sheets, reliability of generation subsystem, selection of power plants and power size generation units, optimal generation structure, new technologies for electric energy generation). <br> 6. Planning of electric power networks develompent (types, voltage levels, configurations, treatment of neutral point). <br> 7. Development of transmission network (planning of transmission lines, switchgears, networks, optimal parameters, standardization, DC transmission of power and energy). <br> 8. Development of distribution network (types, configurations, treatment of neutral point, voltage and network parameters standardization). <br> 9. Development of industrial network (characteristics and demands of industrial systems, categories of consumers, configurations, locations of supply points - own generation sources and main transformer stations). <br> |

Didactic methods |
|
| Course lessons are taught by the professor in lecture halls, and followed by demonstration and solving of practical examples and mathematical equations/graphs. Additionally, students spend time on tutorials and lab-exercises. They resolve specific problems pertaining to their theses, using available or student-developed software. Goal of these activities is to enable students to get hands-on, practical experience in this area, as well as to gauge students' knowledge through assigned papers and exams (mid-term, as well as final). <br> |
|
Exams |
|
| During the course students earn points according to the following system: <br> - Attending classes and tutorials: 10 points; a student with more than three absences from lectures and/or tutorials will not be eligible to get these points. <br> - Home assignments, laboratory reports and/or final thesis: maximum of 10 points. <br> - Mid-term and final exams: a student can score up to 20 points on each exam (passing grade is 10 points). <br> During each of the two exams (time assigned is 90 minutes) students will solve simple questions - designed to examine whether students acquired basic theoretical knowledge –multiple choice problems, as well as one open-answer problem. Students who gain less than 20 points during one semester must re-take that course. <br> Students who earn 40 or more points during the semester are eligible for taking a final exam; the exam asks the student to discuss mathematical problems from the mid-term exam and home assignments, as well as to answer to simple questions related to general course topics. <br> A student can score a maximum of 40 points on the final oral exam (passing threshold is 20 points). A student who gets less than this minimum, must take a makeup oral exam. <br> A student who earns 20 points or more, and less than 40 points during the whole semester will have to take a makeup exam. The makeup exam is organized in the following manner: <br> - Written part is structured similarly to mid-term written exam, during which students will have to solve problems in which they failed on their mid-term exams (got less than 10 points). <br> - Oral part of the exam is structured in the same way as the oral part of the final exam. <br> |
