ENEE13021 - Power System Analysis and Design

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Students should be able to work in teams to model, analyse and investigate design and operation options for electrical power networks to meet community service requirements. On satisfactory completion students should be able to analyse steady state power system performance and articulate the process of updating and maintaining power network assets in order so they meet safety, reliability, availability, security, and quality requirements for both present and future society needs.

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).

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. Practical and Written Assessment 15%
2. Written Assessment 30%
3. Online Quiz(zes) 20%
4. Take Home Exam 35%

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: SUTE
Feedback
Students appreciated the quality of teaching materials.
Recommendation
This good practice should be continued for the student success.
Action Taken
This good practice was continued.
Source: SUTE
Feedback
Students expected further clarifications on the feedback.
Recommendation
More feedback should be provided on the assessments, such as an extra online session can be offered to provide more interactive feedback.
Action Taken
Detailed assessment solutions were shared with students, and any requests for further feedback were addressed via email.
Source: SUTE
Feedback
Students expected more useful knowledge/skills of the unit.
Recommendation
Future versions of the unit could include more real-world case studies, industry examples, or practical experiences to show how the content is relevant to actual work. More clarifications on the practical benefits of the unit in their future careers should be provided.
Action Taken
Additional real-world solved examples have been incorporated into the unit, and clearer explanations have been provided to highlight the practical benefits of the unit for students’ future careers.
Source: SUTE
Feedback
Focus workshops on working through examples rather than repeating lectures.
Recommendation
Should prioritise problem-solving and example-based activities in tutorials, and provide lecture material upon student request.
Action Taken
In Progress
Source: SUTE
Feedback
Simply marking answers as wrong without explanation does not support learning.
Recommendation
Clear feedback explaining why an answer is incorrect to enhance student understanding should be provided.
Action Taken
In Progress
Source: SUTE
Feedback
Student questions in lectures often did not receive explanations that supported understanding.
Recommendation
Ensure student questions should be addressed with clear, explanatory responses to improve comprehension.

Unit learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Discuss the difference between balanced and unbalanced operation of power systems
  2. Analyse, using appropriate software tools, power system performance in both balanced and unbalanced modes of operation
  3. Calculate fault currents and power flow in power systems and discuss the selection of appropriate protection schemes
  4. Understand the power flow problem along with the methods of solutions and appreciate the relevance of power flow studies in power system planning and operation
  5. Investigate and report the process of updating and maintaining power network assets in order so they meet safety, reliability, availability, security, and quality requirements for both present and future society needs
  6. Explain the difference between dynamic stability and transient stability and investigate tools that could be used to analyse the power system for voltage and power angle stability performance
  7. Communicate effectively using power systems terminology, symbols and diagrams adhering to Australian Standards and present design documents, solutions, and calculations professionally
  8. Work collaboratively and autonomously to solve problems and record and communicate clearly and professionally the approach used to solve problems.

The Learning Outcomes for this unit are linked with Engineers Australia's Stage 1 Competency Standard for Professional Engineers.
