| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsThe module is delivered through face-face lectures, tutorials and software based practical sessions. The face-face contact is delivered through an integrated combination of lectures, tutorials and software based exercises. The lectures, for all three learning outcomes, contain frequent use of student activity in the form of interactive examples (LO1 and 3). The tutorial sessions allow the students to work informally in collaboration with their peers. Finally the software exercises primarily provide an opportunity to put into practice simulation of the work covered in the lectures relating to LO2 using industrially recognised software, ERACS. Moodle supports the delivery and PowerPoint presentations are available for all of the module material. There is an extensive set of subject related internet links available on Moodle also; to assist the students locate additional, industrially relevant material. In addition, the lecturing staff on the module further support the students by adopting an open-door policy and through response to email requests for information and advice. Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsThe software used for network analysis is industrially recognised software, ERACS. This provides them with first hand experience of this software which could be added to their CV and raised at interview. The case study used in one topic is based on a real industrial example of a distributed generation scheme.
|
Throughout the module there are a series of tutorials, where students apply the taught theory on a number of examples. During these sessions, students are provided with help to tackle the problems then given feedback on their effort. Practical hardware demonstrations and simulation software exercises are undertaken in the lab, where discussions and informal feedback is given directly to the students.
|
There are two summative assessments. The coursework comprises a technical report on problem solving on a practical electrical power system after load-flow and fault analysis. An exam assesses the student’s understanding of distribution system components, control aspects and smart grid implementation.
