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.

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: 624.601, ENGT8343
 
Outcomes: Students develop an in-depth understanding in the area of power systems protection. They achieve a thorough knowledge and technical competence in a wide range of numeric protection systems together with the communications and transducers that support the operation of the protection system.
 
Content: This unit comprises the following topics: (1) numeric protection—numeric distance protection; elements of signal processing involved; direct online evaluation of impedances using Fourier transform, curve fitting and Kalman filtering; differential equation method based on primary system model; steady-state and dynamic response evaluations; digital current differential protection for transmission circuits; synchronous and non-synchronous data sampling; time alignment of data; numeric evaluation of protection operating and bias signals; digital transformer differential protection; digital techniques for harmonic biasing; digital overcurrent protection; numerical low-impedance busbar protection; (2) communications in power networks—requirements in terms of telemetering, data, control signal and voice communications; transmission media; communication links based on the conductor systems of power lines; microwave; optical fibre; (3) transducers—electromagnetic transducers; wound voltage transformers; capacitor-voltage transformers; current transformers; transducer modelling; frequency and transient response evaluations; and (4) optical current transformer operating principles; fibre optical links; digital outputs; steady-state and dynamic performance requirements; and optical voltage transducers based on electro-optical effect.
 
Assessment: This includes an examination and/or assignments/projects. The examination assesses the students' in-depth understanding of the subject matter presented and discussed in the lectures and tutorials. The assignments/projects test their ability in applying the theory and materials to solve practical problems related to power systems protection.
 
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.
