Course details

This course is designed for third- and fourth-year undergraduate Electrical Engineering students to build a strong foundation in electrical power system engineering. It introduces core concepts related to power generation, transmission, and distribution systems used in modern power networks. Students will study underground cables and overhead line insulators, focusing on their construction, performance, and practical applications. The course also covers transient overvoltages and insulation coordination, which are critical for system protection and reliability. Important transmission line phenomena such as corona, sag, and tension are explained with engineering relevance. Distribution system analysis, including distribution load flow and voltage stability, is discussed in detail. The role and application of capacitors in distribution networks for voltage control and loss reduction are emphasized. Load frequency control of both isolated and interconnected power systems is covered in depth. The concept of unit commitment and its importance in economic and reliable operation of power systems is also introduced. By the end of the course, students will gain comprehensive and practical knowledge of key power system engineering concepts.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're reviewing a site issue late in the build phase and you google 'generator AVR hunting when large inductive load switched on'. A 5 MW diesel generator trips on overvoltage during motor starting even though steady-state voltage is within spec. What change addresses the root cause without creating a new DFMEA item?

A: A: Cranking up gain worsens hunting. You're adding phase lag and chasing the load. B: Reduces the dQ/dt the AVR sees. The disturbance goes away upstream. C: Masking a symptom. Protection still sees real stress. D: Higher ceiling drives the overvoltage harder once the motor breaks away.

Q: During DFMEA close-out you search 'copper busbar corrosion sulfur atmosphere power plant'. The substation is indoors but exposed to H2S from a nearby process unit. Which degradation mechanism drives long-term contact resistance increase?

A: A: Oxide isn't the dominant film in sulfur service. B: That's the failure. Black sulfide, high resistance. C: Galvanic effects exist but aren't the rate limiter here. D: SCC of copper isn't what raises contact resistance first.

Q: Your lead sends you to site and you type 'CT polarity check during switchgear commissioning procedure'. Before energizing a feeder, what's the correct verification sequence?

A: A: You're already assuming polarity is right. That's backwards. B: Ratio, polarity, then injection. Clean sequence. C: IR alone doesn't catch reversed leads. D: FAT doesn't cover field terminations.

Q: Reviewing rev 4 drawings, you google 'single line diagram generator neutral grounding resistor mismatch'. The SLD shows a 400 A NGR, but the equipment list calls out 10 Ω. System voltage is 11 kV. What's the red flag?

A: A: Ohm's law. 11 kV/√3 over 10 Ω blows past 400 A. B: Hardware sets the physics. Settings follow. C: Misunderstands what the current rating means. D: Protection sees it immediately.
