Session 2 Learning and Teaching Update
The decision has been made to conduct study online for the remainder of Session 2 for all units WITHOUT mandatory on-campus learning activities. Exams for Session 2 will also be online where possible to do so.
This is due to the extension of the lockdown orders and to provide certainty around arrangements for the remainder of Session 2. We hope to return to campus beyond Session 2 as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Some classes/teaching activities cannot be moved online and must be taught on campus. You should already know if you are in one of these classes/teaching activities and your unit convenor will provide you with more information via iLearn. If you want to confirm, see the list of units with mandatory on-campus classes/teaching activities.
Visit the MQ COVID-19 information page for more detail.

Unit description
This unit provides students with knowledge and necessary skills for designing, analysing, controlling and operating future energy systems containing a large- scale renewable energy sources (i.e. intermittent and distributed generation), energy storage, and new types of loads such as electric vehicles, in "smart grids". It will also provide strong foundation in classical methods and modern protection schemes and engineering practices to protect the safety of the public, personnel and the system by detecting, isolating, and clearing the electric fault, and restore the system. Topics covered include smart grids in electrical energy systems, renewable energy resources, grid and micro- grid connections, energy efficiency and energy management strategies, smart grid protection, electricity network monitoring technologies and the IEC61850 power equipment automation standard. |
