| Module Description: |
This module will cover electric power systems background, fundamental analysis techniques, transmission line parameters, transformer modeling,introduction to power system stability and faults and system protection. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Analyse the behaviour of electrical power systems under normal and fault conditions. |
| LO2 |
Define the concepts and principles underlying the operation and application of electrical power system protective/control relaying. |
| LO3 |
Define the technical, environmental and economic operational constraints on an electrical power system. |
| LO4 |
Analyse and quantify power quality in existing and planned electrical power systems. |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
| No recommendations listed |
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |
| No incompatible modules listed |
