Aims and objectives
The aim of this unit is to provide an in-depth treatment of microgrids and smart grids along with their design and implementation strategies.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the main components of microgrids and smart grids and appraise their differences. (K1, K3, S1, S3)
2. Describe the standards of operating microgrids and smart grids. (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, A2)
3. Design and simulate the behaviours of microgrids and smart grids with industry standard analysis tools.
4. Solve complex power engineering problems with application of control and communication theory. (K2, K3, S1, S2)
5. Conduct fault analysis with different types of faults such as short-circuit fault, load change, etc. that occur in practical microgrids and smart grids. (K2, K3, K4, S1, S2)
6. Design energy management systems for a practical operation of microgrids and smart grids. (K2, K3, K4, S1, S2, S3)

Minimum requirements to pass this Unit
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) must obtain 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.
