Assessment

 

The  course unit  assessment  comprises  an assignment.   The assignment submission  date is Friday 05 June 2009 (by 5 pm).

 

All work submitted must be the individual student’s own work.  Each submission MUST include a completed Blue Cover Sheet to confirm that work submitted is that of the individual student and has no part been copied or reproduced by plagiarism.

 

 

Penalties

 

Assignment will receive 10% (of the assignment assessment) penalty for each day late.

ELEC8341 Energy Management System

The availability of units in Semester 1, 2, etc. was correct at the time of going to press but may be subject to change. For the most up-to-date information click on the Timetable link below.
 
Credit: 6 points  Availability: Semester 1 (See Timetable) Old unit code: 624.605, ENGT8341
 
Outcomes: Students develop an in-depth understanding of the main functions of the energy management system (EMS). In particular, they develop an understanding of OPF formulation with security constraints together with solution methodology based on constrained optimisation.
 
Content: This unit covers optimal operating states; automatic control and monitoring measures; SCADA system and its functions; load forecasting; state estimation; generator unit commitment; load dispatching; automatic generation control; optimal power flow; static and dynamic security assessments; load shedding; alarm processing; maintenance scheduling; cost accounting; computer resource requirements; objective functions; generation cost minimisation; network active-power loss minimisation; control variables; network operating constraints; comparisons among different formulations; security-constrained optimal power flow; inclusion of post-contingency corrective rescheduling; minimisation of control shift in rescheduling; minimising operating constraint violations; constrained optimisation methods.
 
Assessment: This includes an examination and/or assignments/projects. The examination assesses the students' in-depth understanding of the materials presented and discussed in the lectures and tutorials. The assignments/projects test their ability in designing and implementing in software the key formulations related to OPF with security constraints.
 
Location: UWA (Crawley)
Mode: on-campus

Books and other material wherever listed may be subject to change. Book lists relating to 'Preliminary Reading', 'Recommended Reading' and 'Textbooks' are, in most cases, available at the University Co-operative Bookshop (from early January) and appropriate administrative offices for students to consult. For first-year units the Bookshop will endeavour to make available photocopies of book lists for individual units. Books marked with an asterisk (*) are available in paperback.
