transformer or a motor. Select appropriate hardware for certain applications in power systen protection and high voltage engineering. Appreciate the advantages of new technological solutions in new and existing power system installations.. Overview of Learning Activities By participating in the lectures, you will have an opporunity to get familiar with the theoretical principles pertaining to the course topics. The lectures will offer an explanation of the basic concepts, and solutions to some exemplary problems. You will be expected to extend your study to include reference resources. In the tutorials, you will work individually, with the assistance of a tutor, to solve problems contained in the Tutorial Sheets. You will work in small groups in the laboratory on practical assignments prescribed by the Laboratory Instructions. Each student will be required to submitt an individual report as apart of each assignment . Teaching Schedule The total of 10 hours of tutorial classes in this course will run as follows: week 2 - 2 hours, week 4 - 2 hours, week 6 - 1 hour, week 8 - 2 hours, week 10 - 2 hours, and week 12 - 1 hour. The first three tutorials and the first two laboratory assignments concern Power System Protection. The remaining tutorials and laboratory assignments concern High Voltage Engineering. Laboratory classes will run from week 4 to week 11. Depending on the group you choose, your lab classes will be held in week 4, 6, 8 and 10 (even weeks) or week 5, 7, 9 and 11 (odd weeks). You will need to sign up for a tutorial group and a laboratory group through the STS system before or at the beginning of the semester. Overview of Learning Resources List of reference texts and relevant Internet sites will be provided. Some reference texts will be made available in electronic format. Learning Resources References

Overview of Assessment You undersatanding of the theoretical principles, and your ability to solve theoretical problems in the area covered by this course will be assessed through the final examination. Your laboratory work will be assesssed on the basis of your laboratory reports. Assessment Tasks Task 1: Four laboratory assignments (20%) - each assignment is worth 5% of the final mark

Each assignment comprises group laboratory work, and an individual report, as prescribed by the Laboratory Instruction. Report submission date: two weeks after the completion of the laboratory experiment. Late submission penalty: 5% of the final mark per each working day of the delay, no acceptance after two weeks. Task 2: Two one-hour written tests (25%). The scope of the first test in week 6 (12.5%) will correspond to the content of lectures and tutorials in weeks 1 to 5 (Power System Protection). The scope of the second test in week 11 (12.5%) will correspond to the content of lectures and tutorials in weeks 7 to 10 (High Voltage Engineering). Task 3: Final Examination (55%) A two-hour written examination will include questions that test yor knowledge of the theoretical concepts studied in the course, and questions that test your ability to solve problems similar to those included in the tutorial sheets. Final Grades Available High Distinction 80-100 HD Exceptionally clear understanding of subject matter and appreciation of issues; well organised, with formulated and sustained presentation and response to critique. Addresses all the specific objectives with many to a high standard. Evidence of creative insight and originality. Distinction 70-79 DI Strong grasp of subject matter and appreciation of key issues; addresses all the specific objectives, with several to a high standard; clearly developed presentation and response to critique. Evidence of creative and solid work. Credit 60-69 CR Competent understanding of subject matter and appreciation of the main issues; addresses all the specific objectives, some reasonably well. Clearly developed presentation and response to critique; well prepared and presented. Pass 50-59 PA Satisfactory. Appreciation of subject matter and issues. Addresses all the specific objectives; work generally lacking in depth and breadth. Often work of this grade demonstrates only basic comprehension or competency. Work of this grade may be poorly prepared and presented. Investment of greater care and thought in organising and structuring work would be required to improve. Fail 0-49 NN Unsatisfactory. Evidence of lack of understanding of subject, minimal or inadequate comprehension and does not address all the objectives. Work is often inadequate in depth and breadth and sometimes incomplete or irrelevant; lack of care and thought in organising and structuring work.
