It provides the knowledge necessary to understand how these relays and schemes are applied to the protection of plant and systems including transmission, distribution and industrial networks and rotating machines.</p><p>It describes the methods and instrumentation used for testing of protective devices and complex protective solutions involving a larger number of protective devices.</p><p>Finally, the unit introduces the principles of wide area monitoring, protection and control, which are underpinned by the availability of high speed information and communication technology in protection schemes.</p> <p><strong>On successful completion of the course, a student will be able to:</strong></p><p><strong>ILO 1: </strong>Summarise the requirement for fast and reliable power system protection and the main components that are part of a modern protection system.</p><p><strong>ILO 2: </strong>Evaluate the design of protection systems for use on a transmission, distribution or industrial network through the use of hand calculations, using standard software packages such as Excel or through specialist software including PSCAD.</p><p><strong>ILO 3: </strong>Describe how modern information and communication systems are transforming the way protection is applied to the power system and responding to the challenges of increased levels of embedded generation / HVDC.</p><p><strong>ILO 4: </strong>Describe the operating principles of a range of protection schemes including overcurrent, distance, busbar, transformer and motor protection.</p> <p>Employing blended learning delivery and features both synchronously-delivered and asynchronously-consumed learning materials.</p><p>In addition to the planned activities, there is also private study consisting of:</p><ul><li>Revision</li><li>Further practice</li><li>Independent/further study</li></ul> 0 Other 20% 1 Written exam 80% <p><strong>Written Examination</strong></p><p>Four questions, answer all questions</p><p>Duration: 3 hours</p><p>Calculators are permitted</p><p>This examination forms 80% of the unit assessment</p><p><strong>Coursework</strong></p><p>10 pages</p><p>The coursework forms 20% of the overall unit mark</p> <p>.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> EEEN30131 Power System Analysis Pre-Requisite Compulsory EEEN40631 Power System Analysis and Control Pre-Requisite Recommended Prereq for EEEN44422 - students must have taken EEEN30131 in year 3.
