COURSE OUTLINE

Course Code and Title: EEB464: Power Transmission and Distribution Networks Design

Credits: 3 Credits, SAQA Credits 12 (2.5 L, 1.0 T, 1.0 P)


Type:: Core
Semester: 2
Prerequisites: EEB454 Power Transmission and Distribution Networks
Co-requisites: None

Course Description: The course provides an introduction to power transmission and distribution networks design. It covers
the practical aspects that are considered in planning and designing power transmission and distribution networks. Electrical
and mechanical design considerations are presented.

Aim: To enable students to understand, analyse, and apply power transmission and distribution network design
fundamentals. Basic theories are presented, conception designs are studies and a design exercise carried out

Objectives/ Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course you should be able to:
