The "Fundamental Concepts of Electricity" course provides a comprehensive understanding of electricity supply systems with a focus on theory, real-life examples, and experimental demonstrations. It aims to establish a connection between theoretical knowledge, practical applications, and experimental insights. The course revisits basic topics that have gained renewed importance in light of recent developments affecting power systems' structure, operation, and control. Key subjects covered include transient and steady-state behaviors of electrical components, modeling considerations for electrical elements, three-phase connections, neutral and grounding, protection, and switching. Additionally, the course explores power generation control, power conditioning using power electronics converters, electrical waveform components, power quality, transmission lines/transformers, large power grids, frequency, voltage control, and modern power system developments, such as renewable energy systems, wide-area measurement systems, and power electronics applications in high-power scenarios. Prerequisites for the course include prior knowledge of electromagnetism, electrical circuits, transformers, electromechanical conversion, and electrical power systems.
