On successful completion of this course students will be able to:


1 Understanding modern power system components and transformation
2 The types and roles of distributed energy resources
3 Principles and features Photo Voltaic (PV) Systems
4 Formulation of the mathematical models and the principles of maximum power point tracking
5 Control of PV Converter topologies and their connection
6 Principles of wind power, energy conversion and formulation

The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia . The course develops the following EA Elements of Competency to levels of introductory (A), intermediate (B), advanced (C):  
 

1.1	1.2	1.3	1.4	1.5	1.6	2.1	2.2	2.3	2.4	3.1	3.2	3.3	3.4	3.5	3.6
C	C	C	B	C	C	C	C	C	B	B	B	B	B	B	B

The following resources will be made available on the course platform for your convenience:

Lecture Notes: These will be mostly uploaded before the start of the semester, with the remainder made available as we progress through the course.

Quiz Questions: Expect these to be posted on the  website during the week specified in the timetable.

Experiment Handouts: Handouts for two experiments will be provided on MyUni.

Supporting Materials: Technical papers and short reports will also be posted on MyUni to supplement your learning and deepen your understanding of the course content.

Please ensure to regularly check the website and your messages for these resources and updates. Your active participation and engagement with these materials will greatly enhance your learning experience in this course.

While the lecture notes provided for this course should be comprehensive for most students, some may wish to delve deeper into the topics or seek additional clarification.

For such instances, a relevant book can be beneficial.
The following book, which aligns with some contents of the course material, is recommended for further reading and understanding:
G.M. Masters: "Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems", published by Wiley.

This book offers a wealth of knowledge and will be especially useful if you're grappling with the course material or have a keen interest in exploring the topics in greater depth. Copies of this book are readily available in the Barr Smith Library.

Whether you're seeking to enrich your knowledge or clarify concepts, this book or others can serve as a supplementary resource. Remember, understanding is deepened not just by finding answers, but also by exploring different perspectives and broadening your informational horizons.

I will always be available to respond your questions as the subject is very topical and wide.

All course-related announcements will be made available through the course site.

You can find these updates on the announcement board.

In case of significant notices, an email will be sent to every participant in the course.

I strongly advocate for the utilization of the discussion boards for inquiries pertaining to the course material.

While anonymous postings are acceptable, offensive content is strictly prohibited.

Rest assured, I will make a concerted effort to address questions posted on the discussion boards as timely as possible.

For continuous assessment marks, we will employ the Gradebook. It's essential for students to check the Gradebook consistently to verify that their marks have been accurately recorded.

I will provide video recordings . Typically, these recordings become accessible within one working day following the lecture.

The major assignments and related material will also be available.

The course material will be delivered via lectures, with supplementary problem-solving tutorials for reinforcement.

Prior to each lecture, students are expected to read the lecture material as well as attempt the given problems .

In addition to the 2 written quizzes (involving a number of questions related to the lecture notes), 2 major assignments will be delivered, which are organised to provide system design approach of two primary renewable energy sources (wind and solar PV).

Your assignment reports will also be used to examine your knowledge in an oral examination in Week 13.

Finally, two laboratory practices are designed to introduce the fundamentals of renewable energy conversion systems.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.This
is a 3 unit course. The University expects students to spend around 156 hours of work for a 3 unit course. This corresponds to roughly 12 hours per week. The following breakdown is a guide only. Some students will  need to spend more time, some less.

Activity	ContactHours	Non-ContactHours	TotalHours
Lectures	2h/wk	3 (prep&revise)	60
Two Quizzes	2h	5 (prep&revise)	10

Laboratory clothing restrictions apply to the workshop sessions:

Closed-toe shoes; covered shoulders; long hair must be tied back.
In addition, students must remove all hand and wrist based jewellery (including material bracelets), and must not eat or drink in the
laboratories.
Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in your removal from the laboratory.
