Lecturers:
Prof. Dr. F. Steinke, Prof. Dr. G.Griepentrog

Contact persons:

Content:

  • Direct current circuits: Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff‘s theorems
  • Alternating current circuits: dynamic behavior of coils and capacitors, computation via phasors and complex-valued impedances, active and reactive power
  • Electro-magnetic fields: source and vortex fields, Coulomb’s law, electrical displacement density, influence, magnetic fields, induction, Maxwell’s laws in integral form
  • Elements of power engineering: three phase systems, transformators, electrical machines, power electronics and power converters
  • Introduction into current research topics in power engineering

After the course, students are able to name the electric variables and components, to calculate the electric direct- and alternating current circuits, and to derive electric and magnetic fields in simple, quasi-stationary settings. Moreover, they know the working principles of important power system components.
