About the Course
The ‘Industrial Power System Analysis’ is a fundamental course in the branch of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, which deals with modelling and analysing of the power system which consists of various electrical equipment such as generators, power transformers, bus bars, circuit breakers, transmission lines, loads etc. Our present-day power system is a giant network with interconnected systems and requires extensive power system studies at almost all stages of its planning, operation and control. Power plants generate myriads of gigawatts of power every day further, the power is carried to the consumer premises with the aid of transmission lines and distribution lines. While transporting power from generating station to consumer premises, the system may come across many challenging phenomena such as, overload, short circuit, and other types of faults. Therefore, ‘Industrial Power System Analysis’ is an important course for every practicing engineer, whether to pursue career as a power system engineer or protection engineer or transmission and distribution engineer.
