General Information

Overview

In this unit, you will model basic power system components and electrical machines using simplified linear equivalent circuits. You will explain the relationship between power and energy, and calculate power and energy in power networks and electrical machines. You will apply problem-solving techniques in the analysis of balanced three-phase power circuits using per-unit methodology. You will also investigate and compare the construction and operational characteristics of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electrical machines. You will explain different drive system topologies for the electrical machines. You will explain electrical machine protection and control schemes. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle site for proposed dates.

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).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.

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 In class feedback

Feedback

Students expressed appreciation for the number of attempts allowed for each online quiz and found the duration of the quizzes to be appropriate.

Recommendation

In future offerings, this good practice should be continued.

Feedback from In class feedback

Feedback

Students perceive the content of this unit as overwhelming, given that it encompasses the material of two units in a single one.

Recommendation
