The concept of DGS forms one of the components of the smart grids where electricity generation, storage and consumption are communicated to have better control of power production and flow. The decentralised âfeed-inâ system has its own technological challenges such as noise to signal ration (SNR) control, load flow control and safety issues. Economic issues such as feed-in tariffs also play a major role in development of DGS. This course explores technological developments and challenges faced in DGS and well as economical models are explored for scalability of such systems for profit making independent power producers (IPP).COURSE CONTENT Main title of topic 1 Introduction to distributed generation system and smart grids a) The development of the electrical power system b) Value of distributed generation and network pricing c) SmartGrids d) Reasons for distributed generation e) The future development of distributed generation f) Business as usual future g) Distributed generation and the distribution system h) Technical impacts of generation on the distribution system i) Network voltage changes j) Increase in network fault levels k) Power quality l) Protection m) Stability and fault ride through 2 FACTS power dispatch, modelling and control. a) Transmission Interconnections b) Opportunities for FACTS c) Flow of Power in an AC System d) Power Flow and Dynamic Stability Considerations of a Transmission Interconnection e) Basic Types of FACTS Controllers f) Relative Importance of Different Types of Controllers g) Brief Description and Definitions of FACTS Controllers 1 Shunt Connected Controllers 2 Series Connected Controllers 3 Combined Shunt and Series Connected Controllers 4 Other Controllers h) HVDC Networks 3 Grid connected PV system a) General Description b) Photovoltaic System Configurations c) Power Electronics Topologies d) Generalized Power Electronics and Control 4 Grid connected Wind turbines a) General Description b) Wind System Configurations c) Power Electronics Topologies d) Generalized Power Electronics and Control 5 Other power sources in Distribution network a) Micro turbine b) Fuel Cells c) Battery Storage System d) Flywheels e) Plug-in Vehicle System Configurations f) V2G Grid System 6 Grid-tie inverters and their performance a) Smart networks b) Microgrids c) Benefits of integration d) Performance Analysis 7 Robust control schemes and grid performance a) Controller Design b) Physical Interpretation of the Controller c) Stability Analysis d) Grid Performance Analysis 8 Harmonics, EMI and grid connection standards a) Power Quality Issues b) Degradation Mechanisms of Voltage Quality c) Role of Inverter Output Impedance d) Compensation of Negative-sequence Currents, Reactive Power and Harmonic Currents e) Introduction to the grid connection standards 9 Polyphase inverters and rectifiers. a) Basic Analysis b) Synchronization Unit Physical Interpretation of the Controller c) Control of the Rectifier Leg 10.

LABORATORY SESSIONS 15.1 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS As for any Lab in USP, our Engineering Labs & Workshops have various OHS requirements such as proper closed footwear, neat unobtrusive clothing, and vigilance is a an utmost due to some HIGH VOLTAGE LIVE WIRES being present in the labs. You will be required to sign a Lab Safety Rules during the first lab when you will be briefed by the Occupational, Health & Safety (OHS) officer in the School, Mr. Radesh Lal, the Chief Technician or the senior technicians. Should you fail to adhere to the rules stipulated in the OHS guidelines, you will be asked to leave the lab immediately or may be permanently banned from the lab by the Technician in charge. 15.2 LABORATORY WORK and HANDOUTS Software labs will be conducted on either Matlab/Simulink (with SimPowerSystems toolbox), PSCAD And HOMER Energy. Hardware labs will be carried based on the design and requirements. Handouts will not be provided for Labs as this lab will set capstone mark. 16. ONLINE HELP & e-Learning INFORMATION 16.1 e-Learning All course materials that will be made available on Moodle, students are encouraged to print out notes well before time and read through it at least once so that it makes sense once lectures a delivered. All information and material will be provided on Moodle share for EE321 in the website: http://elearn.usp.ac.fj. You may login using your SOLS username and password. Students may either call in personally or seek help via email. Any student seeking help relating to the course via email should include the following: 16.2 EMAIL HELP From: (Reason: When we send it to outside mail, spammers can get hold of our address to send us junk mail and it is very time involving to scan through all emails) Subject: (This is to ensure that mail filters in my mail client is able to filter it to the EE364 course folder & I can give priority to your mail. Note we receive almost 20+ USP related emails apart from student & personal emails!!) Message Body: write concisely what you need to be clarified. Also include your name at the end. It is a uncourteous gesture not to include the senders name. 17. ASSESSMENT POLICIES Rationale Assessment is an integral part of the learning/teaching process. It is a means by which an individualâs progress is measured. Purposes · To meet the assessment requirements of the University of the South Pacific · To compare between an individualâs performance and be able to use the results to compare between their past and present achievements · To provide an effective means of formative and summative evaluations Guidelines i) Students should be aware of their assessment requirements each semester. A detailed outline would be distributed to all students at the beginning of the semester. The outline will have: · The total number of assessments · The proposed dates/deadlines · The nature of the assessments â short tests, assignments, etc ii) Majority of assessment tasks are common every semester with incorporation of essential innovations. iii) Special equivalent assessment to be carried out only on satisfactory reasons of absence, which may include: · Major illnesses support by a medical certificate. The validity of the medical certificate may be required. · Studentâs attendance to an official business · Timetable clashes · If absence is not covered by an acceptable reason, a result of ZERO will be recorded for that assessment. iv) Final examination is moderated by the School moderation committee. Upon publishing the result, the course coordinator or lecturer are not involved in reassessment (recount) process. It is handled centrally by the school as per Faculty regulations. vii) Plagiarism, copying materials from other sources without proper referencing and acknowledge of the source is a serious offence and will be dealt with severely. In the Regulations Governing Academic Misconduct section of the USP Handbook & Calendar plagiarism is defined as âthe copying of another personâs creative work and using it as oneâs own â without explicitly giving credit to the original creator. Work copied without acknowledgement from a book, from another studentâs work, from the internet or from any other sourceâ. If lecturer is satisfied that plagiarism has occurred they will report the matter to the Head of School. They can reduce marks appropriately. If the matter is seen as serious enough it can be taken to the Student Disciplinary Committee by the Head of School. viii) Students may appeal the mark awarded for any piece if work and must do so within a week of receiving the mark. The changes can only be done by the course co-ordinator. 18. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITES Students are expected to: · Print and READ the course notes from moodle shell well before the lecture is scheduled to be delivered. · Attend all lecturers, tutorials and laboratory unless hampered by illness. · Carry out assignments individually unless otherwise stipulated within or by the lecturer in the class. · Carry out any research required for laboratory and come prepared in the lab on time with relevant literature to carry out experiments. · Maintain proper attire for the laboratory, clothing, shoes etc. · Facilitate the course coordinator with any proof that he/she was sick and unable to attend classes or assessment at the earliest possible time to avoid getting a zero mark for the missed assessment. · Report any damages to the equipment immediately to the technician and laboratory demonstrator. · Be responsible for any damages of USP property due to negligence. (Negligence will be assessed by the Chief Technician(s) and the Division Coordinator(s). · Follow all guidelines stipulated in the Schoolâs OHS regulations. (Guidelines will be provided during the first lab session. 19.

Extra Help Sessions must be taken in addition to regular tutorials, and a minimum attendance of 60% in these sessions is required to past the course. Students who qualify for Extra Help Sessions will be notified by the Course Coordinator prior to the 3rd week of the semester. The purpose of these sessions is to provide students who have struggled in the past (âCâ grade or less in prerequisite courses) by providing additional contact with teaching staff to help them succeed in the course. The type of extra help offered in these sessions is determined by the Course Coordinator. Qualifying students will be identified by the Faculty. Based on student marks at mid-semester, the Course Coordinator may require struggling students to attend Extra Help Sessions during the second half of the semester. These sessions can include extra tutorials, workshops, peer mentoring, etc. 22.
