Course Description

This course begins with basic concepts in electrical engineering such as voltage, current, circuit elements, waveforms, frequency, complex notation and phasor diagrams. This is followed by study of vital equipment such as transformers, generators, and power converters. As a case study, application of this knowledge to wind farms, from turbines to grid connection will be considered. 

Syllabus

  • Simple DC circuits – voltage, current, resistor, circuit analysis  
  • AC circuit theory – capacitors, inductors, complex notation, single phase circuits
  • Electromagnetism  
  • Basic principles of transformers  
  • 3 phase theory   
  • Induction and synchronous machines
  • Power electronics fundamentals  

Details, including assessments, may be subject to change until 31 August 2023 for 1st half-session courses and 22 December 2023 for 2nd half-session courses.
