91297 - Applied Measurements for Power Systems M

Learning outcomes

The course provides the background of the theory of signals, of the measurement uncertainty arising in instrumentation as well as of the basic architecture of electronic measurement instrumentation used in electric power systems. At the end of the course students are able to evaluate the measurement uncertainty propagating through the measurement algorithms in complex measurement systems and to express it according to the method proposed by the new GUM. Moreover, they are also able to analyze input signals from the field by means of time and frequency domain analysis theories. They are also able to perform response analysis of Linear Time Invariant systems for diagnostic and characterization of systems and components.

Course contents

• Metrology-fundamentals
• Probability and statistics
• Analysis of signals in time domain
• Analysis of signals in frequency domain
• Signal conditioning circuits: the use of Operational Amplifier

Assessment methods

Oral examination

In accordance with the University Code of Ethics, students are urged to maintain the utmost integrity. Any activity aimed at improperly altering the outcome of exams (e.g., cheating, plagiarism, accessing online learning resources, or using unauthorized AI tools) is prohibited. In particular, the mere possession of unauthorized equipment or materials during the exam will result in the immediate cancellation of the exam and reporting to the relevant authorities.
Conduct violating this prohibition may result in disciplinary proceedings or reporting to the relevant authorities, if criminally relevant; in the latter case, there is a risk that the students involved may face criminal prosecution.
