ANNA UNIVERSITY CHENNAI :: CHENNAI 600 025 REGULATIONS – 2008
CURRICULUM FROM IV SEMESTERS FOR B.E. ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
EE 9251 TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

AIM:
To become familiar with the function of different components used in Transmission and Distribution levels of power systems and modeling of these components.

OBJECTIVES:
To develop expression for computation of fundamental parameters of lines.
To categorize the lines into different classes and develop equivalent circuits for these classes.
To analyse the voltage distribution in insulator strings and cables and methods to improve the same.
