This module is not approved as an Elective
Objectives
This module introduces students to the concepts behind future sustainable electricity systems with increased use of distributed microgenerators. Students gain a knowledge and understanding of the issues relating to the integration of distributed generators (including renewable sources), their control and protection methods, and tools to analyse their impact on the grid.Learning outcomes
On completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Discuss the detailed planning and operation of power systems.
2. Perform power flow and fault calculations and analyse the steady state operation of power systems.
3. Using case studies, analyse the generation and transmission of electric power, and propose solutions.
4. Use computational methods to analyse the performance of electric power systems.
Syllabus
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
Power system structure and operation: Description of power system structure, mathematical modelling of components, and analysis techniques. Fundamentals of grid operation, voltage and frequency control
Power flow analysis: formulation of the power flow problem (number of equations and variables, bus classification, etc) and popular solution techniques (Newton-Raphson, DC power flow)
Fault analysis and protection: modelling of networks under fault, symmetrical fault calculations, asymmetrical fault calculations, basic protection techniques (voltage, frequency, islanding, etc.)
Intelligent solutions for Power quality correction and Power flow control: FACTS devices, control of distributed generators through ICT

Private study
Students are expected to use private study time to consolidate their understanding of course materials, to undertake preparatory work for seminars, workshops, tutorials, examples classes and practical classes, and also to prepare for in-course and summative assessments.Opportunities for Formative Feedback
Students studying ELEC modules will receive formative feedback in a variety of ways, including the use of self-test quizzes on Minerva, practice questions/worked examples and (where appropriate) through verbal interaction with teaching staff and/or post-graduate demonstrators.Methods of assessment
Coursework
| Assessment type | Notes | % of formal assessment |
| In-course Assessment | Assignment | 30.00 |
| In-course Assessment | Class Test | 30.00 |
| Total percentage (Assessment Coursework) | 60.00 | |
Resits for ELEC and XJEL modules are subject to the School's Resit Policy and the Code of Practice on Assessment (CoPA), which are available on Minerva. Students should be aware that, for some modules, a resit may only be conducted on an internal basis (with tuition) in the next academic session.
Exams
| Exam type | Exam duration | % of formal assessment |
| Standard exam (closed essays, MCQs etc) (S1) | 3 hr 00 mins | 40.00 |
| Total percentage (Assessment Exams) | 40.00 | |
Normally resits will be assessed by the same methodology as the first attempt, unless otherwise stated
