Of all faculties

The students get the basic facts about power distribution.
The students pass out the course are able to:
- describe basic division of power system and their separate parts
- list and describe fundamental parameters of the power network elements and enumeration of basic dependencies of these parameters
- give details of aspect of power network design and verification
- calculate the power network steady state on low and middle voltage levels and current and voltage conditions on the ultra high voltage lines
- design cross-section of line or limited power network based on power losses or voltage drop
- explain principles of parallel and serial compensations
- named type of short-circuits for symmetrical and nonsymmetrical failures
- calculate characteristic values of short circuit current for specified point in power network
- expertly estimate the value ranges of the basic calculated quantity

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required, mainly ability to operate with goniometrical functions, complex numbers, understanding in area of The circuit theory with focus on steady state of circuit and three-phase systems. The successful completion of courses BPC-MA1B, BPC-VMP, BPC-MA2, BPC-FYZ1A, BPC-FYZ2, BPC-EL1 and BPC-EL2 are also required.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Techning methods include lectures, computer laboratories and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system. Students have to write specified number of laboratory protocols during the course.

The course is evaluated by student’s activity in the lessons and it is finished by exam valuation. The exam has practical and theoretical part
Students can obtain:
up to 40 points from tutorial lessons (tests and protocols from laboratory exercise)
up to 60 points from the exam (30 points practical part and 30 points theoretical part). The exam is focused to verify the student understanding of the area power distribution.
Detailed requirements for completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated every year.
