Content
NB! This is an elective course and may be cancelled if fewer than 10 students are enrolled by August 20th.
The academic content of this subject is twofold, in addition to including project work.
Electrical installations:
Introduction to modeling transmission lines and 3-phase systems. This includes load and short-circuit calculations, load distribution, as well as voltage drop, power and energy loss. The subject further includes analysis and simulation of dynamic behavior. The subject provides an overview of protection for distribution systems and in the network, as well as protection of cables, generators and motors.
Installations:
Installation of heat pumps and water-borne energy systems. An introduction to light and heat theory, simple light calculations with a computer program is given. An overview of safety measures for installations with regard to personal, fire and operational safety is given, as well as an overview of regulations and regulations. It also looks at energy consumption in buildings, introduction to building information modeling BIM and building automation. An introduction to risk analysis and documentation of facilities is given, as well as assessment of installations against regulations and standards.
Project work and professional management:
The students are divided into groups and together they will work practically designing various electrical installations of different sizes and complexity.
