Higher education teachers: Miljavec Damijan



Subject description

Prerequisits:

Completed all study obligations from lower study years.

Content (Syllabus outline):

  • The losses in the core, windings and additional losses in generators and transformers. Type of windings (Y, D, Z). Magnetization problems of generators and transformers. Dynamic analysis of short circuits in generators and transformers.
  • Inrush phenomenon of generators and transformers. Various types of cooling (ONAN, ONAF, OFAF ...). Attenuation of short circuits.
  • Basic tests of generators and transformers. Monitoring the aging of insulation in generators and transformers.
  • Operating conditions (isolated operation, operating on a rigid network, synchronous compensator). Oscillations in generators. Synchronous reactance. Transient reactance. Sub-transient reactance. “Per-unit” system. Generators and transformers presented by symmetrical components.

Objectives and competences:

Acquiring in-depth knowledge of different types of generators and transformers, their properties, design features and applicability.

Intended learning outcomes:

The emphasis is on applied knowledge and on understandings how to select right type of generator and transformer regarding their properties and field of use.

Learning and teaching methods:

Lectures, demonstrations, work with computer tools, laboratory work, coursework, project work.
