Assessment

 

The  course unit  assessment  comprises  an assignment.   The assignment submission  date is Friday 30 October 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.

 

 

Faculty Policies

 

Unit marks may be scaled in line with the Faculty’s Policy on Assessment Practices and Procedures.

ELEC8345 Power Systems Control

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: not available in 2007 (See Timetable) Old unit code: 624.607, ENGT8345
 
Outcomes: Students develop an in-depth understanding of both off-line and online control measures in power network systems including those used in distribution networks.
 
Content: This unit covers the following topics:

(1) voltage control measures; switching control; automatic excitation control; transformers off-nominal tap position control; shunt reactors and capacitors; static VAR compensators; and voltage control in layered power networks;

(2) reactive-power balances in transmission networks; dependence on the active-power transmission level; control of reactive-power flows; automatic reactive power compensation; modelling of compensators related to steady-state operation; voltage control response of compensators; compensators for countering the effects of pronounced load unbalance; and reactive-power compensators in transient operating modes;

(3) frequency control; measures of control; load forecasting and generator scheduling; on-line control measures; system power-frequency characteristics; inter-area transfer; multi-area co-ordinating control strategy; area autonomy; under-frequency load shedding; and

(4) control and monitoring automation in distribution networks; distribution feeder automation; network configuration by automatic switching control; and network loss reduction by switching control.
 
Assessment: This includes an examination and/or assignments/projects. The examination assesses the students' ability in formulating control measures for achieving the system responses required in steady-state operation and in transient operating modes. The assignments/projects test their competence in designing control measures and evaluating their performance.
 
Location: UWA (Crawley)
Mode: on-campus

Unit Rules:
Advisable prior study: assumed prior knowledge in power systems [at a level equivalent to ELEC3305 Power and Machines (formerly 620.332 Power and Machines 332/ENGT3305 Power and Machines) and ELEC4307 Power Transmission and Control (formerly 620.457 Power Transmission and Control 457/ENGT4307 Power Transmission and Control)]
Contact hours—59 (lectures: 26 hrs; tutorials: 13 hrs; project: 20 hrs)

Unit Web Page: http://student.ee.uwa.edu.au/units/elec8345
Note: This is a unit for students enrolled in the Master of Engineering.
Texts Lecture notes together with lists of references are provided
 
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.
