Overview
On the satisfactory completion of this unit, you will be able to work both individually and in a team to model, analyse and investigate design and operation options for electrical power networks to meet community service requirements. You will be able to analyse the steady-state performance of power systems, perform both symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault calculations, and conduct stability analysis of power systems. You will be using the industry standard power system simulation software to simulate different scenarios in the power network. As such, you will articulate the process of updating and maintaining power network assets to meet most safety, reliability, and quality requirements for both the present and future.

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
Focus workshops on working through examples rather than repeating lectures.
Should prioritise problem-solving and example-based activities in tutorials, and provide lecture material upon student request.
Feedback from SUTE
Simply marking answers as wrong without explanation does not support learning.
Clear feedback explaining why an answer is incorrect to enhance student understanding should be provided.
Feedback from SUTE
Student questions in lectures often did not receive explanations that supported understanding.
Ensure student questions should be addressed with clear, explanatory responses to improve comprehension.
