Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce the conventional methods of delivery of generated electrical power via transmission and distribution along with describing parts of an electrical power system, identifying different parts of power transmission and distribution systems, explaining their functions, and suggesting methods for power factor improvement.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Identify the basic elements of an electrical power system regarding generation, transmission, and distribution,
  • Describe transmission and distribution in power systems,
  • Explain the benefits of using high voltages in transmission lines,
  • Compare the AC and DC transmission for benefits and drawbacks,
  • List the advantages and disadvantages of overhead transmission,
  • Describe subtransmission lines and distribution substations,
  • Construct the network matrix of a given power system for power-flow analysis,
  • Propose improvement methods for the power factor, while expressing its significance.
Course Description The course covers major concepts and methods used in electrical power systems for transmission and distribution such as voltage levels, types of power transmission systems and their components, power distribution systems, and power factor improvement methods.
