Electrical Power Engineering for All Engineers

This course provides background knowledge in Electrical Power Engineering to Engineers from different domains of Engineering. This includes the fundamental principles of modern electrical energy systems; such as three-phase power system and analysis, electric generations, electric loads, and power electronic converters.

Upon completion of this course, participants are able to:

  1. Explain active, reactive, complex power, and power factor – its impact on losses and need for power factor correction.
  2. Examine power mixed signals, single-phase and three-phase sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal.
  3. Analyse steady-state AC circuits using RMS phasor for balanced three-phase and single-phase.
  4. Understand key components of power systems including transformer, induction motor load, static load, transmission line, cable, and rectifier load.
  5. Model and analyse the working of a power system from generation to load
  6. Describe earthing and safety in the context of power systems
  7. Recognize and report relevant topics of current interest, such as integration of renewable energy sources and in the context of Singapore’s power system, power quality, harmonics, environmental effects, and renewable options.

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers

This course covers all of the essential information that participants would need to know in order to design, fabricate, and test VCSELs.  We start with the basics of light propagation in materials, and move to optical gain in semiconductors, and then cover VCSEL epitaxy, cavity and mode properties, fabrication processes, and applications including direct modulation.  Different types of VCSELs such as ion-implanted and oxide-confined VCSEL designs are covered.

At the end of the programme, the participants will be able to:

  1. Be able to understand a VCSEL epitaxial structure
  2. Be able to understand quantum wells
  3. Be able to understand and describe VCSEL fabrication procedures
  4. Be able to describe important characteristics of VCSELs and how they are measured
  5. Be able to understand what can go wrong during VCSEL fabrication
