Lecture: 1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Tutorial: 1 x 1 Hours Weekly
Laboratory: 1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Syllabus: Power line representation: single line diagram, per unit system for single phase circuits and per unit system for three-phase circuits. Transmission line representation: alternating current (AC) vs direct current (DC) transmission, standard transmission voltages, series impedance calculation (resistance, inductances and capacitances), short/long line models (A, B, C and D constants), efficiency and voltage regulations, series and shunt compensations. Power flow calculations: review of real, reactive and apparent power, Gauss-Seidel load flow method, decoupled load flow method, contingency calculations and DC load flow. Three-phase fault calculations: symmetrical fault, symmetrical components, positive, negative and zero sequence equivalent circuits, unsymmetrical faults (L-G, L-L-G, L-L faults), and circuit breaker ratings.

Area External refers to external course/units run by the School or Department or offered by research.

Central External refers to external and online course/units run through the Curtin Bentley-based Distance Education Area

Partially Online Internal refers to some (a portion of) learning provided by interacting with or downloading pre-packaged material from the Internet but with regular and ongoing participation with a face-to-face component retained. Excludes partially online internal course/units run through the Curtin Bentley-based Distance Education Area which remain Central External

Fully Online refers to the main (larger portion of) mode of learning provided via Internet interaction (including the downloading of pre-packaged material on the Internet). Excludes online course/units run through the Curtin Bentley-based Distance Education Area which remain Central External
