Why Choose

This module is designed for industry professionals wishing to upskill and/or move to the energy sector.

On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

1	Describe the trends in global electrical energy requirements.
2	Analyse the options available for bulk electrical power generation.
3	Assess the environmental impact of various power generation technologies and perform a critical comparison of the choices.
4	Analyse and solve the normal balanced operation of electrical power generation and transmission systems.Analyse the operation of synchronous generators, transformers, transmission lines and other equipment in the electrical grid.
5	Demonstrate a familiarity with modern industry-standard computer aided engineering software for electrical systems analysis and design.
6	Analyse and solve the abnormal operation and protection of electrical power systems which arise from the onset of asymmetrical faults within the network.

Requirements
