The Electrical Power Engineering module takes place in the form of a lecture with integrated exercises and with the active involvement of the students. The prerequisite for completing the module is participation in the two practical laboratory experiments (preliminary examination):

Attempt 1:

Simulation and protection of a 380 kV overhead line (ET 1)

The aim of the experiment is to familiarise students with the basic properties of a 380 kV transmission line and its protection against short circuits, overvoltage and undervoltage using the following experimental components:

• Tests on the operating behaviour of a line in open circuit, with matching, with a three-pole short circuit and with resistive-inductive and purely inductive load
• Experiment on unbalanced short circuits
• Short-circuit protection with overcurrent relay
• Overvoltage and undervoltage protection

Experiment 2: System perturbations due to harmonics (ET 2)

The object of the experiment is to analyse the harmonics on the mains side caused by a rectifier circuit with a smoothing capacitor. The harmonics are analysed using an FFT. Measures to reduce the harmonic components are also analysed.
