Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

The student knows the basic use of some commercial network information system. The student is able to design a low voltage transformer circuit according to the requirements of techno-economics. The student is able to design a medium-voltage power line with a shield and select suitable components.

Content (course unit)

Use of a network information system as a distribution network design tool. Design of low and medium voltage network utilizing network information system.

Further information (course unit)

The study is supported, for example, by the Tekla NIS network information system.

(Network recommendations, only available in Finnish)

Student workload

Teaching: a total of about 45 h
Independent work: about 90 h

Further information

Exercises are done with Trimble NIS and Powerworld software.

Assessment criteria - fail (0) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Exercises have been rejected. The exercises have not been returned or there are essential and significant deficiencies in the assignments.
The student does not recognize and does not know how to apply the design criteria of electrical networks.

Assessment criteria - satisfactory (1-2) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

The exercises have been returned as approved. The solutions do not contain significant errors. There may be some calculation errors in the solution, but they do not lead to essential error solutions (= correct order of magnitude). The factors and criteria mentioned in the assignment have been taken into account, but the reasoning is not perfect.
The student manages the design criteria of electrical networks helpfully.

Assessment criteria - good (3-4) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

The exercises have been returned as approved. The solutions have been carefully made and do not contain significant errors, there may be individual calculation errors, but they do not lead to essential error solutions. The factors and criteria mentioned in the assignment have been taken into account and the necessary justifications presented.
The student masters the design criteria of electrical networks and can also apply his knowledge in practice.

Assessment criteria - excellent (5) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

The exercises have been returned as approved. The solutions have been carefully made and do not contain significant errors, there may be individual calculation errors, but they do not lead to essential error solutions. The factors and criteria mentioned in the assignment have been taken into account and the reasons presented carefully.
The student masters the design criteria of electrical networks and knows how to apply his knowledge excellently also in practice.
