EE-232 Power Distribution and Utilization Prerequisite: ECA-II, EMS Instructor: Abid Mushtaq Office @ RIMMS Tel# 051-9085-2554 Course BEE-2 Goals and Objectives Students are introduced to the basics of power distribution systems and effective utilization of power in heating and illumination applications. Course Outcome This course will be taught in three main parts: (A) Revision of previous Electrical Engineering concepts & Overview of Power engineering (B) Distribution system (its components, design and protection) and (C) Utilization system (illumination, machines, heating, etc and design of electrical systems at customer level). In first part (A), previous electrical concepts like Power factor and correction will be revised, three phase and single phase power lines will be discussed; practical problems of power system will be solved with the previous techniques learned in pre-requisite courses. Overview of the power system would be given and few lectures will serve as introduction to Power engineering, Power Generation & Power Transmission). Fundamentals of Load management and characterization will be introduced. Calculations involved in making electrical bills will be taught. Students will use this theoretical knowledge to build their own students using MATLAB GUI and Visual C++ in the lab classes. In second part (B), details of Power Distribution system will be taught to the students, with its classification based on (i) Nature of current, (ii) Type of Construction & (iii) Type of Connection. Major components of distributed systems like substation transformers, substation switchgears, feeders, Service mains and bus bar arrangements will be taught (and practically shown in the field as well through field visits). Students will be taught how to design distribution systems as per international standards. Details of protection of distribution system will be discussed and its functioning of protection system will be taught. In the third part (C), utilization of electricity will be discussed. Major utilizations will be discussed which are in the form of (i) Battery (charging), (ii) Lighting (illumination) & (iii) Heating (Welding). Main types of batteries and battery charging will be discussed. Fundamentals of Illumination Engineering, requirements for good lighting, illumination schemes for various situations (street lighting, commercial/industrial lighting, stadium/flood/stage/spot lighting etc.), types of lamps, their working and relative merit will be taught. Students will be taught how to design power lines as per customer requirements in detail (selection of wires, wire diameter, type of load, and wattage requirements will be considered). Students will use this theoretical knowledge in labs to do software modeling and practical calculations related to power engineering. Apart from theoretical knowledge from books, through seminars and workshops, students will be given introduction to new technologies like smart grid system, renewable energy systems, home automation, energy efficiency and latest Available in Office: Tuesday & Thursday after noon
