Tutor:

Josef Tlustý (gar.), Ivan Cimbolinec, Tomáš Sýkora, Jan Švec

Supervisor:

Department of Electroenergetics

Synopsis:

The course presents equipment and systems operations from the point of view of diagnostics and maintenence. It describes components of systems, start-ups, limits of elements, faults and extraordinary behaviour, systems of control of distribution networks, and power quality.
