This course will prepare candidates for a range of career opportunities designing, maintaining and deploying the infrastructure needed to generate and distribute electricity around the world using both traditional and renewable energy sources. This course covers both electrical power and industrial computer systems engineering. The knowledge in both fields are important to maintain a world connected in a digital age. Candidates will explore power systems engineering and learn how to effectively design and plan power transmission and distribution networks to increase reliability and stability of power supply and develop models for an interconnected power system to analyse different fault conditions through load flow analysis. Through this course as well, candidates will learn about the effects of distributed generation such as rooftop photovoltaic, energy storage, and demand response on power delivery networks and cover advanced concepts associated with the planning and operation of power systems including load estimation and forecasting for sizing the components, voltage and frequency control, transient instability caused by fault events, optimal power flow, distributed networks, and design of advanced protection systems. The Industrial Computer System Engineering component of this degree offers the knowledge and skills in the use and application of computing technologies in the operation of modern industrial plants, manufacturing processes and material processing industries, with a focus on computer-based measurement and control. Candidates will learn how to design, commission and test complex industrial control systems and have the opportunity to design, commission and test small-scale systems involving programming, networking and interfacing to instruments, gain problem solving skills for computer based measurement and control systems using LabVIEW, and work on projects that explore the specification, design, commissioning and testing phases of typical systems development.
