Introduction to Distribution Systems |
| Description: |
This course provides an introduction to
the electric power distribution system. Common distribution
system configurations, equipment used and operational issues
such as power quality and PF control will be discussed. The following topics
will be covered:
• Theory: distribution system layouts, grounding basics
(concepts, grounding methods, grounding-related issues),
distribution feeders (loading classes, voltage levels,
conductor arrangements), distribution secondary systems
(voltages, configurations, three-phase connections)
• Equipment: feeder equipment, conductor and cables,
ratings
• Operation: voltage control (voltage regulation, voltage
drop), power factor control (shunt capacitors, optimal
placement, applications, loss reduction)
• Problems & Consequences: power quality (concept, power
quality concerns, standards, solutions, voltage flicker and
notching, electrical noise, voltage unbalance)
Upon completion, the students will have an in-depth understanding of the major components and configurations that make up the distribution system.
