ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION AND ENERGY CONVERSION
The objective of this course is to introduce and give understanding about the basic concept of electrical power generation and energy conversion. The topics that will be discussed include the principles and methods of power generation, thermal plant, hydro, gas, nuclear and so on; thermoelectric energy conversion, heat ion, photovoltaic, magnetic hydrodynamic, electromechanical, fuel cell and battery; exciter, automatic voltage regulator, speed governor for frequency and voltage controller, generation controller and generator modelling, load, prime mover, and governor. Economic load transmission and lambda iteration method, unit commitment and its solution will also be discussed.
