To describe three-phase electric grids, the students learn how to present symmetrical and asymmetrical three-phase systems through space vector transformation.

This tool assists in describing simple electric components as transformers and wires.

Further, they learn how to calculate asymmetrical errors in three-phase grids based on current standards.

The last part of the module teaches the students basic qualifications in power flow calculations in electric energy grids and in modelling high-frequency processes.
