Department: Department of Electric Power Engineering
Aim: The objective of the course is to provide knowledge about measurement techniques and instrumentation for measurement of electric, magnetic, mechanical and thermal phenomena. The physical principles behind the measurement methods are emphasized.
Contents: Different measurement techniques applied in an electric system ranging from a sensor to a user interface are described. Referring to an electric power supply system relevant sensors, measurement instrumentation, control systems and interface techniques for measurement and recording of stationary and transient signals are treated. The applications of measurement systems on specific technical problems are illustrated with cases within the area Experimental Electric Power Engineering. For example, these cases comprise optical sensors for the measurement of electric and magnetic fields, digital/analog measurement techniques, transformation of measured values, automatic measurement and control systems including interfaces, high temperature superconductors and numeric field calculations. It is possible to verify the different techniques presented in the lectures by applying the principles in project proposals. The student can elaborate his own solution on the project proposal and realise this experimentally in the laboratory.
