Content
This is a project oriented designed based learning (PODBL) unit, which aims to provide students the opportunity to gain a solid understanding of the operating principles and design of power transmission and distribution systems. Students will engage in a Transmission and Distribution System Design Project where they will design active and reactive power controllers as well as voltage compensation devices to mitigate the impact of renewable energy sources on the transmission and distribution. They will explore and learn about different transmission and distribution system technologies. Students will develop the concepts and skills on transmission and distribution line modelling, control mechanisms to improve their efficiency as well as the impact of renewable energy sources and new types of loads on the transmission and distribution network. Students will also develop skills in computer modelling and practical implementation of their design to analyse the transmission and distribution system performances. The hands-on skills developed through this unit will help students implement advanced technologies for ensuring effective operation of the electricity transmission and distribution networks in the presence of renewable energy sources.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to pass this unit students must achieve a mark of at least 40% in the project validation demonstration task (AT3), and a mark of at least 50% in the combined Problem solving skill and knowledge tests (AT2)
