Course syllabus
Elteknik – elektrisk spårtrafik och dess anläggningar
Electric Power Systems for Electrified Railway
VTVF45, 10 credits, G2 (First Cycle)
Valid for: 2016/17
Decided by: Education Board D
Date of Decision: 2016-04-08
General Information
Compulsory for: IBYI2
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish
Aim
The aim of the course is to provide fundamental knowledge of
electric power in railways, on system and component levels. It is
also intended to give an insight into the problems of overhead
contact line installation in the projection of simpler contact line
installation
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
- be able to describe and understand the construction and
functions of electrical installations and control of active and
reactive power, and be informed about the prerequisites that apply
in the operation of installations.
- be able to give an account of different electrical
installations that are parts of the operation of electric railway
traffic with respect to both function and the essential connections
with the parts of the installation.
- be able to give an account of the contact network’s
construction and the interaction of the vehicle, contact network
and other electrified power systems for electrified railways.
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
- take into consideration the prevailing regulations and
handbooks and project a simpler catenary system installation.
- be familiar with the documentation concerning power supply
installations and interpret the functions of different installation
sections with the help of drawings and other documents.
- give an account of the project work in the projection of a
simpler catenary system installation.
