This module covers fundamentals of electrical power systems including power generation, transmission and distribution in addition to power systems analysis and calculations for balanced, unbalanced and fault conditions. The content progresses from core topics including single-phase and three-phase systems for electricity networks, transmission lines and cables, fault analysis, through to modern concepts such as renewable power generation, high voltage DC Transmission (HVDC), smart grids. In all cases, the link between the power system and power electronics, energy (grid) storage, control and communication systems is explored and emphasized.

Module Contents: The Electricity supply system, AC power analysis, power factor correction, three-phase systems (Balanced and unbalanced) , Transmission lines and cables, Power system calculations, , power systems fault analysis, power system control, high voltage DC (HVDC) and Flexible AC Transmission system (FACTS), introduction to modern smart grids.
