Introduction
This unit introduces students to the basics of power system analysis, power generation and power transmission systems. Students will gain skills in analysing and modelling power systems, including calculating fault currents, performing stability analysis and solving load flow studies. The unit provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to undertake advanced studies in electrical power engineering.

ENG231Teaching
| Teaching Pattern | Teaching will consist of targeted, pre-recorded short videos each week, followed by a weekly 2-hour seminar to explore content further or to reinforce theory and a 2-hour tutorial / workshop to reinforce learning through application of theory to solving problems. 3 hour lab classes will be conducted in small groups, one session per student per week for 6 weeks during semester, and learning will be supplemented via one or more industry-guided field trips to relevant sites. |
