Electrical Energy Systems (EES)

EEEN71305 Electrical Energy Systems (EES) 15 Full year Postgraduate Taught Level 7 James Brooks Unit coordinator Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 <div> <div style="color: rgb(60, 60, 60); font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> This unit aims to help the student understand the structure of electrical energy systems (both AC and DC) from the perspectives of a national grid, a distribution network, an industrial/commercial facility and a plane, ship or train transportation system. It introduces the components included within an electrical energy system, the models used to represent each component and the basic analytical techniques used to combine these component models into an electrical energy system. Models will include generators, power transformers, lines, cables, induction motors, loads and power electronic devices; and analytical techniques will include per-unit, phasors and power flow. <div>  </div> </div></div>  <div> Structure of Electrical Energy Systems-           Transmission, Distribution and Industrial/Commercial Networks-           Transportation Systems-           Renewables, & Energy StorageBasic analytical skills associated with an Electrical Energy System-           Per-unit-           VA and V Phasors-           Real and Reactive Power-           2-bus power flows-           Power quality and power factor-           Power vs Energy, includes peak, average and reactive powerComponents associated with an Electrical Energy System-           Power Transformers-           Lines and Cable-           Synchronous Generators-           Induction Machines (Generators & Motors)-           Load modelling-           Power Electronics, AC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters</div>   <div> This unit aims to help the student understand the structure of electrical energy systems (both AC and DC) from the perspectives of a national grid, a distribution network, an industrial/commercial facility and a plane, ship or train transportation system.

The unit runs for 10 weeks, with a total of 150h of student work. There are some fixed events, such as coursework deadlines, exams, and weekly tutorials but much of the course can be done at a pace that fits the student. Each section consists of:- An overview of the material, presenting the current learning objectives.- Explanatory material (~3h of student activity/section) in the form of video lectures, papers/articles, the course text, and links to further resources.- Exercises (~4h/ section). These are formative, with feedback given in the tutorial.- Discussion (~2h/ section). Students are encouraged to discuss the exercises and material in the forums where tutors will facilitate peer learning, providing feedback/input if necessary.- Tutorial (~1h/week). Student will video conference with their tutor in groups of 6-8 to discuss and give/receive feedback.</div> <div> In addition to the planned activities there is also private study (~50h for the unit) consisting of:- Revision- Coursework- Further practice- Independent/further study</div>   0 Other 100% <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="640"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 291px"> Assessment task</td> <td style="width: 104px"> Length</td> <td style="width: 151px"> How and when feedback is provided</td> <td style="width: 95px"> Weighting within unit (if relevant) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 291px">  - Fundamentals quizzes- Forum discussion- Video presentation </td> <td style="width: 104px"> N/AN/A5mins</td> <td style="width: 151px"> Auto marked transcriptRubric/tutorialsWritten comments</td> <td style="width: 95px">  N/A*50%50% </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> * The unit is pass/fail.
