Objectives (course unit)
The student is able to
- describe the structure, components and special features of typical distribution networks
- dimension and select the components for a low voltage network as well as plan overload protection and contact voltage protection
- plan the overload protection and leakage protection for a detached and turned off radial medium voltage network
Content (course unit)
Basic structures of electrical distribution networks, components and principles of protection. Calculation of electro-technical quantities in a radial distribution network: modelling the components and loads in a network, load flow calculations, calculating short circuit currents, calculating current leakage. Basic principles of technical and economic design and use of distribution networks. Electricity markets.
