Objectives

Programme

Basic things about Electritechnics:

History. Electricity as energy carrier. AC, DC Current systems. Multiphase systems.

Practical circuit calculation methods

Definition of the active, reactive power in single phase and 3-phase systems. Calculations with instantaneous values and phasors. Positive directions. Definition of the power sign. Y-D conversion. Nominal values. Per-unit system.

Practical calculation methods of energy converters

Calculation methods of magnetic circuits. Symmetrical components method. Three-phase vectors.

Transformers

Magnetic materials. Hysteresis and eddy-current losses. Induced voltage. Excitation balance law. Equivalent circuit and its parameters. Phasor diagram. No-load and short-circuit. Definition of the DROP. 3-phase transformers, connections, phase-shift, parallel connection.

Magnetic field of the electromechanical energy converters

Magnetic fields of the electrical machines: stationary, pulsating and rotating field. Generation of the rotating field. Torque development. Frequency condition.

Operation principles of the basic electromechanical energy converters

3-phase synchronous machine. Condition of the steady-state torque. Synchronous speed. Cylindrical synchronous machine. Equivalent circuit. Pole-voltage, armature voltage, synchronous reactance.

3-hase induction machine. Condition of the steady-state torque. Slip-ring and squirrel-cage rotor. The slip. Equivalent circuit.

The DC machine. The commutation.

Power electronics, electrical drives

Basic converter connections. Electrical drives: starting, braking, speed modification.

Electrotechnical environment protection

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Low and high frequency effects. Electrostatic discharge. Electromagnetic impulses.

Electrical safety regulations

Basics, methods, limits, measurements.

Electrical energy storage

Chemical, electrical, magnetic, mechanical energy storage. Fuel-cells.

Electrotechnical applications, trends

Requirements of sustainable development. Application of alternative energy sources. Alternative electrical vehicles. New materials and technologies. Superconductivity.

Laboratory practices:

·         Investigation of high-voltage discharges.

·         Electric shock protection.

·         The transformer.

·         Electrical rotating machines.

·         Non-conventional energy converters.

To teach those knowledge in Electrotechnics, which is necessary for every electrical engineering student. It provides foundation to subject Electrical Energetics and the Electrical energetics specialisation.
