Lectures by Prof.D.P.Kothari Centre for Energy Studies IIT Delhi. Power System Generation, Transmission, and Distribution is the most common subject and heart core subject to electrical engineers. An electric power system is a network of electrical components used to supply, transmit and use electric power. An example of an electric power system is the network that supplies a region's homes and industry with power—for sizable regions, this power system is known as the grid and can be broadly divided into the generators that supply the power, the transmission system that carries the power from the generating centers to the load centers and the distribution system that feeds the power to nearby homes and industries. Smaller power systems are also found in industry, hospitals, commercial buildings, and homes. The majority of these systems rely upon three-phase AC power—the standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution across the modern world. Specialized power systems that do not always rely upon three-phase AC power are found in aircraft, electric rail systems, ocean liners, and automobiles.
Course Objectives:
To understand the concepts of various methods of generation of power.
To understand the importance of HVAC, EHVAC, UHVAC and HVDC transmission.
To design insulators for a given voltage level.
To calculate the parameters of the transmission line for different configurations and assess the performance of the line.
To study underground cables for power transmission and evaluate different types of distribution systems
