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. |

This is the major assessment of this Unit. It will consist of 3 individual assessments and 1 team assessment, as follows:
Assessment Type 1: Practice-based task
Indicative Time on Task 2: 14 hours
Due: Week 3-7
Weighting: 20%
Laboratory sessions and submission of lab reprot by the end of each session. Students will be assessed based on thier attendance, participation, performance, and their ability to perform analysis, modeling and implementation of the practical experiment as well as software tools . There is no laboratory session in week 1. Students need to record all the laboratory results (and printouts) and submit a report for each experiment.
Students need to attend 4 out of 5 lab sessions in order to pass the unit.
Assessment Type 1: Quiz/Test
Indicative Time on Task 2: 6 hours
Due: Week 2-7
Weighting: 10%
Students are expected to go through the iLearn content, understand the theory and attempt the online quiz every week prior to in class activities (lectorials).
