Introduction
The transmission of electricity means the transmission of data as well
The Power Systems and Telecommunication Technology is a brand new study program that offers a great opportunity to get educated in a very interesting career field with massive potential. The uniqueness of the program lies in the proper connection of knowledge in the field of telecommunications, informatics, and power engineering, thanks to which the graduate is not only closely focused on one specific area, but has a broader knowledge of information and communication technologies and principles of production, transmission, and distribution of electricity.
This ensures high adaptability of graduates to all demands of their future professional practice not only in the field of systems for management, protection, and dispatching equipment power systems but also in a wide range of industrial applications.
Keywords: power systems, communication, technology, BUT, Master
The study program Power Systems and Communication Technology offers a follow-up master's degree, in which the focus on electrical engineering related to the production, transmission, distribution, and use of electricity is combined with subjects of theoretical and practical informatics and communication technology. The blending of both knowledge areas created a study program that reflects the demands of the current and future development of electricity. The basis are courses focused on mobile and fixed communications, modern network technologies, telecommunications services, security methods, and high-speed multimedia transmissions, as well as the theory of distribution network failures, methods of their protection, power quality and EMC, and diagnostics in power engineering. , high voltage technology, operation of electricity production with synchronous alternators as well as operation of renewable sources or the current state and operation of electrical station equipment.
The aim of the study is:
- to provide students with practical knowledge and deeper theoretical foundations of modern telecommunications and information technology in conjunction with the basics of mathematical models for controlling interconnected power systems, power flow calculations and voltage regulation, frequency control, and dispatching control and equip them for highly qualified work in power control systems.
- to teach students to use the knowledge of low-current electronics and communication technology in the design of new devices or systems ensuring economical and trouble-free operation of transmission, distribution, and industrial networks.
