In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
In this unit, you will learn to work both individually and in teams in the planning, analysis, and design of power systems and their associated control systems using state-of-the-art methods. You will design power systems to incorporate the growing penetration of renewable energy sources. In order to do this, you will develop advanced skills to effectively design, analyse, and augment power systems to maximise reliability, security, and sustainability. Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to analyse systems incorporating renewable energy sources both dynamically and in steady-state using industry-standard software such as Power System Simulator for Engineering (PSSE). You will be able to tune control systems to satisfy Australian network standards and you will become competent to meet the challenges and opportunities of 21st-century power systems as they continue to evolve. You will apply skills in ENEE20001 to work towards the United Nations sustainable development goal. Online students are required to attend a residential school.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
ENEE14005 Capstone Power and Control Design is an Anti-Requisite for this unit.
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2024
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Residential Schools
This unit has a Compulsory Residential School for distance mode students and the details are:

Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 12-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Live lectures
Students appreciated the interaction with the Lecturer.
Keep facilitating student involvement during live sessions.
Feedback from Tutorials
Students value face-to-face and software support during tutorial sessions.
Develop supporting roles of tutors further.
- Conduct load-flow and fault analyses of complex power systems in order to augment the system to optimise power flows and voltage profiles
- Model advanced dynamics of complex power systems to determine transient stability limits
- Perform dynamic stability analysis of complex power systems in order to improve power system damping
- Model renewable power plants in steady-state and transient situations to quantify their impact on system security
- Discuss the impact of power system augmentations on economic, social, and environmental sustainability
- Work autonomously and in teams on complex power engineering projects including providing leadership
- Document and communicate professional engineering information including computer-based simulations and drawings using appropriate electrical engineering standards, terminology, and symbols.
