This course begins with basic concepts in electrical engineering such as voltage, current, circuit elements, waveforms, frequency, complex notation and phasor diagrams. This is followed by study of vital equipment such as transformers, generators, and power converters. As a case study, application of this knowledge to wind farms, from turbines to grid connection will be considered.
For student studying for the MSc Renewable Energy Engineering.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1st attempt: Three
hour written examination (80%); Continuous
assessment (20%).
Resit: The re-sit will comprise of re-doing the failed element/s (exam and/or
coursework assessment/s) from the 1st attempt with a maximum CGS
mark of D3. The marks for other elements (successfully passed) will be
carried over. Resit mark of either RP or RF will be recorded.
