Overview
In this unit, you will model basic electrical power system components using simplified linear equivalent circuits, explain the relationship between power and energy, and calculate power and energy in electrical power networks. You will review electric and magnetic fields and explain their application in power transformers and generation. You will discuss generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy. You will apply problem-solving techniques in the analysis of balanced three-phase power circuits using per-unit methodology. You will discuss electrical distribution system components and configurations and apply appropriate mathematical tools to the analysis of power systems. You are expected to use appropriate electrical engineering language in context and to document the process of modeling and analysis. You will present the information, communicate, work, and learn, both individually and in teams, in a professional manner. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Moodle site for proposed dates.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites: ENAE12013 Electrical Components and Circuit Analysis or ENEE12014 Electrical Circuit Analysis.
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).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2026
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).

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.
Feedback from SUTE
Students appreciated the lecturer's great communication and care for students success. They mentioned that the most approachable lecturer, easy to talk to and always pleasant to deal with.
Should continue this good practice for student success.
Feedback from SUTE and student consultation
Students mentioned that it may better to explain the lecture or tutorial workshops with more examples for easy understanding.
Should provide more examples in lectures or tutorial workshops. Should give an opportunity to discuss about the Assessment feedback for improvement.
Feedback from SUTE
Students expected timely 'Useful Feedback' on the assessment tasks.
'Useful Feedback' should provide on time for improvement of the student's next task.
