KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)

This course explains the operating principles and structural elements of conventional (thermal, nuclear, hydroelectric) and renewable (solar, wind) power plants used in electricity generation.
By analyzing load curves in power systems, it calculates operating parameters such as load factor, capacity factor, and diversity factor.
It models and analyzes the electrical parameters (resistance, inductance, capacitance) of power transmission lines according to their geometric layout and conductor types.
It selects and coordinates the necessary protection and switching elements (relays, circuit breakers, disconnectors, fuses) for network safety according to system characteristics.
By understanding the importance of grounding systems for human and system safety, they design grounding methods that will limit step and touch voltages.
