Overview
In this unit, you will work in a team to analyse and design electrical power and control systems by applying PSSE or equivalent industry software. You will also focus on renewables, promoting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy. On satisfactory completion, you will be able to investigate solutions for contemporary engineering problems, plan and control project work in a team environment, research current practice in this discipline, execute evidence-based decision-making, check and evaluate the validity of information, and prepare professional documentation for a project.

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 In-class feedback
Students appreciated that the project in this unit provided an opportunity to learn a commercial software tool (PSSE) and to gain insight into how renewable integration projects are conducted in the real-world industry setting.
This good practice should be continued..
Feedback from Unit evaluation
Students suggested that the unit requirements were not clearly stated.
In the next offering, ensure that unit requirements are clearly articulated and communicated to students through both Moodle and during the initial lectures.
