Synopsis:

Lectures are composed as encyclopedic overview of power current electrotechnical facilities using LV, HV and VHV and are focused on their utilization in nuclear power plants including power extraction to electrical network. Theoretical background is supported by examples from work experience along with parameters of currently used facilities used in power engineering with focus on NPPs.

First, the general relations of the electric circuits theory and electromagnetic and electric field theories are recapitulated. Then the overview of electrotechnic materials (electric current conductors, semiconductors, magnetic flux conductors, insulators, dielectrics), their properties, applications. After general introduction, there follow lectures on particular types of electrical machines and devices, their characteristics, equivalent diagrams, phasor diagrams, applications in NPPs.

Finally, electric facilities of NPPs are presented including most applied power extraction schemes and schemes for assuring unit auxiliaries and for common plant operations. Examples of electric schemes of Czech NPPs are given including electric devices parameters.

Lectures are supported by technical visits of university labs (university power plant, high-voltage lab, electric machines lab). In the university power plant, the measurement on power unit model is carried out. This includes examples and evaluations of transients of artificially generated failure states.
