Overview
In this unit, you will model basic electrical power system components using simplified linear equivalent circuits, explain the relationship between power and energy, and calculate power and energy in electrical power networks. You will describe electric and magnetic fields and explain their generation and application in power transformers. You will discuss generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy. You will apply problem solving techniques in the analysis of balanced three-phase power circuits using per-unit methodology. You will discuss electrical distribution system components and configurations and apply appropriate mathematical tools to the analysis of power systems. You are expected to use appropriate electrical engineering language in context and to document the process of modelling and analysis. You will present the information, communicate, work and learn, both individually and in teams, in a professional manner. If you are studying in distance mode, you will be required to attend a compulsory residential school to assist your achievement of the Learning Outcomes 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.

The On-line Quiz (with several Multiple Choice Questions - MCQs) will generally be in the form of problems that require simple calculations to find the correct answer. Students are expected to work individually. To ensure continuous engagement of the students with the learning of this unit, the quiz has been separated into 4 parts and distributed over the 12-week term as indicated in the unit schedule. Each part of the quiz will test the students on the unit content covered in each quarter. More information on this will be provided through the unit Moodle site. Each part of the online quiz will be open on the Unit Moodle Website 5-6 clear working days prior to the respective due dates. The online quiz will randomly draw questions from a pre-designed question bank for each individual student. This will be a time-limited assignment and more details will be made available to the students through Moodle site. Marks of all four parts of the quiz will be added and scaled to a score out of 20 to be added to the unit total.

4 Take Home Exam
This take home examination will be monitored through a ZOOM session and students will have to provide written answers to some questions similar to past examination questions in this unit.
1. Examination will be time scheduled and will take place for everyone at the same time.
2. Each student stays home with a device (preferably a laptop) essentially having a camera through which we can watch the student in a ZOOM session during the examination (please make sure you have a device with these requirements functioning).
3. That ZOOM link needs to be open throughout the exam.
4. The examination paper will be loaded to the Moodle so that students only can access it during examination period.
5. The student uses blank A4 papers (single side) to write answers.
6. At the end of the examination, he/she first takes photos of all written pages and email invigilator.
7. Later he/she scan the pages and upload to Moodle within a specified time at the end of examination.
8. Examination date and time will be within the standard examination period for Term 2-2020.
This will be held in the examination week. The exact date and time of the examination will be notified later.
Outcomes will be published with the grade certification.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
