66117 – ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
Scientific domain: ING-IND/33 Electrical Power Systems
European Credit Transfer System Credits (ECTS): 12
Length: 12 + 12 weeks (along two semesters)
Lecturers: Marco INVERNIZZI – Stefano BRACCO
Introduction to the basic topics related to the operation, the design and the planning of electrical systems, analysed as systems of interconnected elements and represented by mathematical or circuital models. Special attention is paid to practical operating conditions
The main purpose of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge of planning, design and operation of electrical power systems. Systems made up of different interconnected components are analysed by means of mathematical and/or circuital models, with a particular focus on practical cases. At the end of the course, students should know the main operating principles of electrical power systems, both in normal and fault conditions. Moreover, students should be able to solve exercises about the design and verification of electric lines and cables. In particular, after the first module of the course students should express and solve load-flow problems as well as be able to calculate currents and voltages in networks subjected to faults. On the other hand, after the second module of the course students will know the main designing criteria for power networks and should be able to define protection systems for power systems.
Skills in solving alternating current electrical circuits, algebraic and differential equations, calculations dealing with trigonometry and complex numbers, matrix calculus.
Theoretical and practical lectures (5 hours a week)
Laboratory activities and seminars (extra hours)
During the first semester of A.A. 2020/2021, theoretical and practical lectures will be held via remote facilities. For what concerns the second semester, lectures’ modes will adhere to the University guidelines.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
For each semester, students have to do a written exam (duration: 2 hours) which consists of exercises. Both written exams can be done on the same day (duration: 4 hours). Students who successfully pass the written exam are allowed to take the oral exam (duration: about 1 hour). Both the oral exams, one for each semester, can be taken on the same day.
Evaluation of the acquisition of practical and theoretical skills in calculation methods for the design and operation of electrical power systems. The written exam aims at evaluating the ability of students to solve numerical excercises. The oral exam permits to ckeck students’ knowledge on theoretical and applied aspects related to electrical power systems; moreover, critical reasoning skills and the use of an appropriate language are also considered.
