| Course description | Students are introduced to the analysis of power systems in per-unit and absolute values using single-line diagram representations of balanced and unbalanced power supply systems, and perform load-flow and short-circuit studies. They are exposed to the analysis of the fundamental techno-economic issues in the design of large power systems, involving long term planning, mixed fuel resource/energy scheduling and power system plant investment appraisal.
The Power System Group Design Project brings together all aspects of the above modules.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
Represent complex loads and transmission systems and perform load-flow calculations. Construct single-phase per-unit fault equivalent circuits of power systems and calculate fault levels and distribution of fault currents. Determine unbalanced current and voltage phasor systems and represent these as symmetrical components, converting freely between each representation. Work within a group to perform outline designs of a reinforcement of a Sri Lanka power system (Power System Group Design Project) and carry out techno-economic and investment appraisal of the proposal.

Power System Group Design Project (Dr Sasa Djokic, Dr Ewen Macpherson)
Groups of 4, 5 or 6 students design, cost and evaluate the expansion of a power supply system. The exercise starts in Week 6 of the second semester, and continues for the rest of the semester. Students submit a group report which is assessed. Student performance within the group is assessed by their peers.
