Aims and objectives
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
1. Design large-scale electrical power systems (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)
2. Analyze the performance of large-scale power systems using simulation and computational modeling techniques (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2)
3. Optimize and evaluate the structural characteristics of large-scale electrical power systems (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)
4. Model and simulate the behaviours of large power systems with industry standard analysis tools (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)
5. Conduct load flow studies of large power systems with different techniques (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)
6. Calculate the ratings of compensating devices and reduce a large power networks into a simpler one (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)
7. Conduct fault analysis with different types of faults such as short-circuit fault, load change, etc, which occurs in practical power systems (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)

Assessment
Types | Individual or Group task | Weighting | Assesses attainment of these ULOs |
Examination | Individual | 60% | 1,3,5,6,7 |
Laboratory Reports
| Individual | 25% | 2,3,4,5,7 |
Assignments | Individual / Group | 15% | 1,2,4,7 |
As the minimum requirements of assessment to pass a unit and meet all Unit Learning Outcomes to a minimum standard, a student must achieve:
(i) an overall mark for the unit of 50% or more, and
(ii) at least 40% in the final exam, and
(iii) at least 40% of the possible marks for the laboratory hurdle
Students who do not successfully achieve hurdle requirements (ii) and (iii) will receive a maximum of 44% as the total mark for the unit and will not be eligible for a conceded pass.
