Part B: Marking and Assessment

(to be completed by Module Lecturer)

This assignment will be marked as a percentage

This assignment contributes to 30% of the total module marks.

This assignment is bonded / non- bonded.  Details :

Assessment Tasks:

Marks Awarded Marks Available

Task-1- Theoretical underpinning

Renewable Energy Sources and potentials around USW campus, power quality, reliability, grid connection and islanding of the Microgrid, on grid and off grid.

Task-2-   Design Microgrid using ETAP simulations as given in assignment sheet

Task-3:  Load Flow and short circuit analysis of designed Microgrid  Consider the following cases and  analyse the results:

Case 1:

I.Close switches for wind, solar and capacitor and do load flow analysis

II.Create fault on bus 2 and analyse it

Case 2: Chose loads 50 KW sports centre, 100 KW for J-Block, 110 KW for G-Block and 100 KW for H-Block and load flow and short circuit analysis

Conditions are same as in case 1 for both load flow and short circuit

Case 3: DO necessary changes in the designed Microgrid to improve the power factor after integration of solar and wind generation

Please indicate which of the following you feel/felt applies/applied to your submitted work

·A reasonable attempt.  I could have developed some of the sections further.  

·A good attempt, displaying my understanding and learning, with  analysis in some parts.

·A very good attempt.  The work demonstrates my clear  understanding of the learning supported by relevant literature and scholarly work with good analysis and evaluation.

·An excellent attempt, with clear application of literature and scholarly work, demonstrating  significant analysis and evaluation.
