Content

This is a project oriented design based learning (PODBL) unit. Students are required to work and learn in a team and will be assessed both individually as well as a team.

Students have the opportunity to engage in a Power System Protection Design Project to ensure safety in a power network. Students will investigate faults in power system networks particularly in the areas of generation, transmission, transformers and loads. Students then explore various protection schemes for each network area to design a safe power network. The learning in this unit will require the prior knowledge gained from SEE210 (Power Engineering Design).
