Presence in the first and the second lecture is mandatory for enrollment. The course is limited to 36 students. The registration for the course is binding. The exam is a portfolio examination and consists of three parts: Discussion panel (40%): A short talk about a topic closely related to the previous lecture held by a small group of students. The topics to choose from will be announced in the respective previous lecture. Solution presentation (40%): Students assign themselves to a fixed tutorial slot for the whole semester. A weekly task sheet will be uploaded after the lecture. In each tutorial, students will be chosen randomly to present and explain their solution. Oral exam (20%): A short oral questioning about the lecture content at the end of the lecture period. To pass the exam, all parts of the portfolio have to be completed successfully.
Lecture content: The physics of electricity, basic circuit analysis, AC power, generators, loads, transmission and distribution, power flow analysis, system performance, system operation, management, and new technology
