conceptual understanding related to insulation, testing the HV devices is must
for every electrical engineer. The subject deals with HV test generating
devices, measurement devices, over voltages including lightning and
non-destructive testing as well.
(9) Digital Signal
Processors (3170918)
Rationale: Many Electrical and Power
Electronics Applications require complex control schemes and signal processing.
Hence, for such applications, embedded processor having very good control
capacity and signal processing capacity both are required. So, special
processors combining both these capacities are used in such applications. They
are Digital Signal Controllers (DSC). They combine the best features of
microcontrollers (MCU) and powerful digital signal processing (DSP)
capabilities in one single chip Considering this, it becomes necessary for any
electrical and power electronics engineer involved in product development to
understand the concepts of Digital Signal Processing (Theoretical). Also they
should understand Digital Signal Controllers from practical implementation
point of view. This subject includes both of these.
(10) Power System Operation
and Control (3170919)
Rationale: Demand of electrical energy is
increasing day by day due to improvement in the life style of the people in
particular and development of the countries in general. Under this scenario,
the power system network operates in a stressed condition. Effective management
of generation, transmission and distribution of electrical power is necessary
for optimal system operation, for loss minimization and to avoid the unwanted
power cuts. After the study of power system analysis, the study of power system
operation is required. The understanding of automatic generation and control,
reactive power characteristics of transmission lines and voltage control, state
estimation, load forecasting and restructuring is desired.

operation. The technical solution of utilizing available power system structure
to deliver more power is using the power electronics devices in power systems
for reactive power compensation and HVDC. The other uses of power electronics
devices in the distribution and at consumer levels are also inevitable. The
more and more use of power electronics devices in the power systems at every
