Objectives

Aims:

Equip students with basic knowledge about the structure of an electric energy in its production components, transportation and distribution.
Provide students with training in order to know and explain the principles and bases of operation of central power generation.
Provide students with training in order to know and explain the models of transmission lines
Provide students with training in order to know the simplified method for calculating power flow in meshed networks.
Equip students with knowledge of charging systems and applicable incentives to encourage the rational use of energy
