Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
|
|
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list.

| Indicative Content |
|
Review of Electrical Power System Fundamentals
Review of electrical power system fundamentals: single-phase, three-phase, power triangle, direction of power flow, load characteristics, power transfer and the per-unit system.
|
|
Representation of Power System Components
Synchronous machines, power transformers, electrical loads in circuit models with suitable modifications (under transient conditions) to facilitate analysis.
|
|
Phasor Measurement
Use of the phasor measurement unit (PMU) to estimate phasor magnitudes and angles in an electrical power system using a common time source for synchronization; use of the data generated by PMUs.
|
|
Power Flow Analysis
Radial and loop networks. Use of Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson methods to analyse and resolve power flow/optimal power flow problems.
|
|
Fault Analysis
Balanced/unbalanced three-phase faults. Use of symmetrical components in mathematical methods to calculate line currents and voltages under fault conditions.
