Content
- Different energy sources (fossil fuels, renewable energy, nuclear energy, cogeneration)
- The relationship between different types of energy (kinetic energy, heat, electric potential energy) and the energy conversions.
- Electric work, power, electric and mechanical power in AC and DC networks
- Power factor, active power, idle power, and apparent power in 1 and 3-phase networks.
- Applications of the law of induction for the basic components of an electricity network (generators and transformers),
- Transport and distribution of electricity (different types of electricity networks, lines and cables, transformers, protection)
- Network simulations (load-flow calculations, short-circuit calculations)
