Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Revision of d.c and a.c. electrical machines
Application of mathematics and scientific principles to matters not covered at level 5, including the transient response of machines and their response to harmonics on the supply frequency.
Recap of the science of semiconductors and principal device types,
Introduction to power electronic devices, circuits and applications. Use of power electronics as motor drives, and motors’ reponses to drives.
UK power generation and distribution practice. Tranmission lines, their performance and efficiency. Losses between generation and consumers.
Uncertainty of renewanble supplies, need for storage, smart grids, etc. Mitigation of supply risk.
Simulation of grid a system. Evaluation and critique of smart grid solution.
Discussion of the management of supply. Legal and regulatory issues.
