Content
Power engineering design is the design of electrical systems for the supply and distribution of electrical power through a network to end user for their needs. The primary goal is to generate the required amount of power and distribute it to where it's required, whilst doing this in a safe, reliable, and efficient manner. In this unit, students will engage in a Power Engineering Design Project individually and as a team. Students will investigate different power sources, transformers, transmission, and distribution lines to address stakeholder needs and develop a system design by applying ethical and Australian OHS standards. This unit lays the foundations for understanding and designing modern power systems network comprised of conventional and renewable energy sources. Students will develop knowledge and technical competence in finding power engineering solutions to a range of electrical engineering problem scenarios.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must achieve a minimum of 50% in the project validation presentation assessment task.
