ENEE13016 - Power System Protection

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Students analyse and design devices and schemes to protect electrical power apparatus and systems. They explain the philosophy, principles, concepts and practices, the codes, standards and manuals that guide design and operation of protection schemes They analyse protection schemes, solve protection problems and correct faults. Students identify requirements, analyse and design protection for power system networks and for apparatus in electrical power systems. They develop fluency in the technical language of power systems protection and develop professional skills needed to communicate, learn and work alone and collaboratively to solve problems and document the solution process. Distance education (FLEX) students are required to have access to a computer and make frequent use of the Internet.

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).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Written Assessment 30%
2. Online Quiz(zes) 30%
3. Examination 40%
4. Written Assessment 0%

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%).

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.

Source: Unit survey
Feedback
The lectures and tutorials from current lecturer were informative and relevant to the subject criteria. The inclusion of previous lecturer's lectures are also very helpful and provide a different perspective.
Recommendation
Continue this good practice.
Action Taken
Maintained the same practice.
Source: Unit survey
Feedback
Possibly supplying a previous students report will provide an example for the future students
Recommendation
Provide exemplars for the substation protection design project
Action Taken
Provided an example of substation protection design
Source: Unit survey
Feedback
Having Multiple small assignments will allow students to continue to practice the subject throughout the term rather than assigning everything to be completed within the last few weeks.
Recommendation
Introduce some interactive progress review mechanisms to monitor the gradual progression of the students with the project.
Action Taken
Students were provided with multiple opportunities to submit drafts of the assignment and provided feedback for the given draft submission to improve the subsequent submissions.
Source: Student evaluation (SUTE)
Feedback
The content was well organised and structured.
Recommendation
The same structure in the unit should be maintained.
Action Taken
Nil.

Feedback
Assessments were relevant.
Recommendation
It should be continued with a similar type of assessment.
Action Taken

Source: Student evaluation (SUTE) & In Class
Feedback
The unit was well delivered.
Recommendation
The same practice should be continued.
