Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to acquire with the economic efficiency of electrical equipment operation, the life cycle of electrical equipment, learn the methodology of economic calculations. Students gain knowledge of energy efficiency parameters analysis and application in electrical equipment operation, evaluation and analysis of individual electrical equipment technological operations databases. During practical work the students acquires skills in calculation of energy and economic efficiency, application of the principles of economic cybernetics, analysis and optimization of management systems for equipment operation.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge - factors influencing energy efficiency, life cycle indicators of electrical equipment, principles of efficient operation - practical work, practical work, test 1
Skills - to evaluate the efficiency of the use of electrical equipment and to calculate the energy efficiency and economic parameters of electrical equipment operation - practical work, test 2.

Competence - analysis of electrical equipment life cycle, energy efficiency and economic parameters, economically justified assessment of electrical equipment operation system - practical work, practical work, test 3.
