·     Descriptors for Levels 6, 7 & 8 of the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning and Appendix B

·     Guidelines for writing Learning Outcomes

By the specific knowledge from the teaching of this course, the student who will attend It, will be able to:

1.         Design the circuit presentation of the basic components of the Power Electric Systems (PES), i.e. synchronous generators, power transformers (one and three phases), regulating transformers,  transmission lines, loads and the one phase per unit equivalent circuit of the PES.

2.         Construct in a systematic manner the matrix Ybus of the PES and exploit it for the solution of the steady state equations of the PES using the nodal analysis. Learn to use special computer-based techniques to accelerate the solution of large-scale PES, such as the method of successive elimination, called Gaussian elimination and the triangular factorization method.

3.         Apply methods to solve large-scale PES and study their response under specified loading conditions in the sinusoidal steady state operation. This is the load flow study used in the optimum economic operation of the PES and for analyzing the effectiveness of alternative plans for system changes or expansion.

4.         Calculate the currents under symmetrical faults and their effects on the PES components.

5.         Utilize the symmetrical components method to analyze unsymmetrical faults exploiting the well-known methods for symmetrical PES.

6.         Calculate the currents for all types of unsymmetrical faults using the symmetrical components method.

1.         Ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, theories and strategies related to the operation of PES in the sinusoidal steady state operation and their operation under the disturbances of faults symmetrical and unsymmetrical.

2.         Ability to exploit such knowledge and understanding to the solution of synthetic problems related to the PES, such as the future changes and extension of PES and understanding of their protection.

3.         Ability to adopt and apply the teaching methodologies to the solution of unfamiliar advanced problems.

4.         Study skills needed for continuing professional development.

5.         Ability to interact with others scientist on inter or multidisciplinary problems.

6.         To elaborate reliable and safe for humans and environment studies for electrical installations.

By the specific knowledge from the laboratory of this course, the student who will attend It, will be able to:

1.         Understand and interpret the basic concepts of operation of all basic components (synchronous machine, inductive machine, transmission line, transformer, loads) of a Power System.

2.         Familiarize himself with Power System analysis, in practice.

3.         Observe and interpret the effect of active and reactive power flows on basic electric quantities of a Power System (bus voltages, currents), and vice versa.

4.         Study the operation, reregulate if needed or design Power Systems from the basic level.

At the end of this laboratory, the student who will attend It, will have further developed the following skills and competences:

Specifically-defined evaluation criteria are given, and if and where they are accessible to students.

Greek language is used in the examination procedure. Examinations may be given in English in case of foreign students attended the course.

In lectures: Exams are written and include theoretical questions which are answering without further help and problems to be solved by using the book of the course. Marks are given to each and every question in order to achieve precise comparative evaluation between students.

In Labs: Assessment takes place with four means:

1)      Short written questionnaire (test) before each actual laboratory exercise takes place, about the basic concepts involved.

2)      Oral questions assessing the comprehension of each part of the exercise.

3)      Correction and marking of written reports submitted within a few days after the lab exercise is completed.

4)      Combinatorial questions from all laboratory exercises at the end of the semester, in the framework of a final, revision, lab exercise.

Greek grading scale: 1 to 10. Minimum passing grade: 5.
