Content

This is a project oriented designed based learning (PODBL) unit, which aims to provide students the opportunity to gain a solid understanding of the operating principles and design of power transmission and distribution systems. Students will engage in a Transmission and Distribution System Design Project. They will explore and learn about different transmission and distribution system technologies. Students will also develop skills in computer modelling and practical implementation of their design to analyse the system performances.
