Power Systems Automation (FSI-VAS-K)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jan Roupec, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚAI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Course objective: To acquaint the students with specific problems in automatic control of power stations and to demonstrate the solutions of complicated control tasks.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will acquire knowledge of how to solve complex tasks by means of power engineering. Student will be able to use simulative tools to verify regulations.
Prerequisites:
Students are expected to have knowledge of automatic control.
Course contents:
The course familiarises students with process equipment of heat power plants, nuclear power plants, water power plants, and with their control concepts. Primary and secondary control of electric power system and cooperation principle of many sources joined in one system are explained too. Attention is drawn to automation of small power sources of electric and thermal energy, including alternative sources.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course-unit credit requirements: participation in seminars. Examination requirements: written exam with 10 answers related to the topics of the course.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. It is at the teacher’s discretion to decide how to make up for missed seminars.
Type of course unit:
    Guided consultation in combined form of studies  1 × 13 hrs. compulsory
