LectureNotes_EC II
The following lecture notes are based on the
topics described in the official syllabus of ELECTRIC CIRCUITS II (USTH
Bachelor program). The target audience for these lecture notes is students in
the B2 in Energy major of the Undergraduate school in USTH.
1) Sinusoids and Phasors: Sinusoidal sources and the sinusoidal response.
Complex excitations and the phasor concept. Use of the impedance and admittance
concepts to solve the sinusoidal responses. Kirchoff’s Laws in the frequency
domain and impedance combinations (Chp. 6).
2) Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis: Nodal and mesh analysis for phasor circuits. Sinusoidal steady-state analysis using other techniques such as Superposition, Source Transformation and Thevenin, Norton equivalent circuits (Chp. 7).
3) AC Power Analysis: Instantaneous and average power concepts and the effective or the
RMS value. Maximum average Power Transfer for impedance circuits. Complex,
active, reactive power and power factor concepts for phasor circuits, power
factor correction (Chp. 8).
4) Three-Phase Circuits: Balanced three-phase
voltages. Three-phase connection types such as balanced Y-Y, Y-D
and D-D connections. Power in the
balanced circuits. Unbalanced three-phase systems (Chp. 9).
5) The Laplace Transform and Circuit Analysis in the
s-Domain: The Laplace transform, inverse Laplace transform
and transform properties. Application of the Laplace transform to electric
circuits and the transfer function (Chp. 10).
This subject is about Renewable Energies (sources, technologies)
We will see the basic concepts: energy security concerns and energy efficiency concepts
We will deal with the conversion of solar, wind, biomass, hydro and geothermal energies into electricity energy
We will consider the environmental and social effects of renewable technologies and examine how people’s energy decisions impact policies
