Description and contextualization of the subject
Modeling and dimensioning of electric power installations and apparatus requires physical understanding and knowledge of mathematical modeling. In order to calculate stresses and parameters that characterize power systems or electrical apparatus, a sound knowledge of fundamental electromagnetic field theory is essential. A continuation of electromagnetic theory with emphasis on adaption and use in electric power engineering is needed for applying static approaches when analyzing steady-state phenomena in electrical apparatus and systems. This course caters to this rationale by introducing numerical calculation tools based on Finite Element Method for analysis of electric and magnetic fieldsHaving completed the course, the candidate should have knowledge on static and dynamic fields from:
- Maxwell's equations and how to make relevant simplifications for analysis in electrical power engineering
- Use of modern numerical software tools to solve practical problems in electric power engineering
- Recognizing phenomena related to practical problem solving and selection of the right model and calculation tools
- Calculating parameters to be used in modeling and analysis of electric power apparatus and systems
