MODULE AIMS The nature of the dissertation is to present the student with a challenge, the solution of which is not readily available, and it will therefore involve the student in original work. On an individual basis the student will be required to carry out an in depth investigation involving theoretical, experimental or investigative analysis or a combination of these.

The dissertation will differ from research in that the students supervisor could be aware of or could envisage the conclusion of the investigation. This would not, however, prevent the student exploring alternative solutions to the proposed study. The work would be original as far as the student is concerned but based on proven techniques which would related to and integrate with the students current and previous studies.

MODULE CONTENT Topics will be either volunteered or called for by the senior dissertation tutor. Normally students will generate feasible topics; however topics may also be generated by industry or by lecturers. All topics will be assessed by the senior dissertation tutor for their suitability, in terms of academic demands and likelihood of success. This module is an essentially self study module. Each student will be assigned a supervisor, who will guide the student in his study for the dissertation.

Students will be advised of the dissertation requirements during the second semester of their penultimate year of study. They will be given further tuition in library research and guide lines regarding the choice, management and presentation of the dissertation.

In order to ensure uniformity of standard of performance in the dissertation all supervisors will be presented with notes on dissertation work organisation, aspects of control and maintaining student contact.

LEARNING OUTCOMES On successful completion of this module a student will be able to: 1 define the objectives of the investigation with the use of appropriate evidence and other supporting information; 2 acquire and report the necessary background knowledge by conducting a comprehensive literature search; 3 4 plan and report a programme of investigation and study; conduct the programme and report the findings by the use of accepted methods of analysis and evaluation; 5 synthesize and communicate the results and conclusions of the study with reference to the limitations and generalisations.

TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGY The total time on the dissertation is expected to be personally managed by the student. However there will be lectures on standards of referencing and research approach. Students will investigate the appropriate methodology for his research in close consultation with his supervisor. Students will be expected to submit write-up progressively to the supervisor for feed backs following a guideline given by the senior dissertation tutor.

INDICATIVE CLASS CONTACT Students will complete at least six hours in preparatory lectures and tutorials at the commencement of the module. Thereafter, typically a student would expect up to 10 hours contact with his/her supervisor.

INDICATIVE ASSESSMENT A viva will be offered to the student where requested by the Assessment Board. Number Assessment Weighting % Type/Duration/Wordcount (indicative only) Learning Outcomes being assessed 1 Dissertation proposal form, Presentations if appropriate. research project plan, mid-sessional submission with the details of background development and review and outline of 10% 1000 words maximum. 1-5

Dissertation marks are offered on the basis of originality of the work and its contribution to the status of knowledge and practice as well as on the effective presentation that include various attributes of a good dissertation. A guideline on allocation of marks will be made available to students and supervisor, prepared by the senior dissertation tutor.

Lectures provide students with the tools necessary to complete the module. Seminars provide students with the opportunity to present and discuss their work. Occasional private tutorials provide students with guidance in studying and completing their work. Structured debate is used as a supplement to the seminar discussion and as a means of assessment. Lectures account for 33% of the total time a student is expected to allocate to the study of this module, and seminars together with structured debate a further 17%. In self-study and preparation for seminars and assessment, students are expected to make extensive use of the library facilities and will be allocated reasonable time for use of laboratory and software facilities where necessary.

This module aims to establish the students competence in the understanding of probabilistic risk assessment and risk modelling in technical systems. The module is designed to develop theoretical and practical themes of systems analysis and enhance understanding of probability theory. A wide range of commonly used risk models are explained and interpreted to help in applying risk assessment. Through the learning and teaching strategy, the module will also enhance students employability skills such as independent working, analysis, modelling and problem solving.

MODULE AIMS In the context of depleting energy resources and deteriorating environmental quality, the traditional methods of generating usable power need to be optimised with the view of obtaining higher efficiencies in thermal systems, utilisation of power and minimising the system losses through power management. Newer technologies, which are based on renewable energy sources and environmentally friendly, are required to be integrated into power grid system as well. This module

aims to address these issues.

MODULE CONTENT

Power Plant: Power system exergy analysis. Performance and risks analysis of Steam, Gas Turbine and Nuclear power plants.

Power Transmission: Transformer principle of operation, Transformer phasor diagrams, e.m.f. equation of a transformer, Transformer construction, Equivalent circuit of a transformer, Regulation of a transformer, Transformer losses and efficiency, Auto transformers, Isolating transformers, Three-phase transformers, Current transformers, Voltage transformers, Line losses and High Voltage transmission; networks, substations and switch gears, local and building power distribution; Emergency power.

National Energy Policy: energy white paper; environmental impacts, carbon emission legislation.

Enterprise and building power management: metering and tariff, building integrated and locally generated power (renewable energy) management.

LEARNING OUTCOMES On successful completion of this module a student will be able to: 1 2 Critically analyse the sustainable power generation and application Optimise the power conversion with the application exergy analysis

3 4

Minimize system losses through optimised operation of transformer

Perform network analysis for power distribution to ensure minimal system loss and balanced power distribution

Evaluate and apply economic load management strategies

TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGY This module will be delivered in a series of lectures, tutorials and seminars. Students self-study will include background reading, lecture notes study and preparation for tutorial and seminar sessions.
