COURSE INFORMATION

School/Faculty: Electrical Engineering/Engineering
Program name:Masters of Engineering (Electrical Power)
Course code:MKEP 1543
Course name:Advanced High Voltage Technology
Credit hours:3
Pre/co requisite:Nil
Course synopsis:This course introduces students to a number of advanced topics in high voltage technology. Emphasis will be on the detailed application of electric field analysis, partial discharge measurements, insulation coordination design, ZnO surge arrester application, and GIS condition monitoring. In addition, the course covers application of optical techniques in high voltage environment and application of pulsed power technologies. At the end of the course student should be able to critically design an insulation coordination for a given substation, as well as to apply application software (QuickField) to analyse and solve high voltage problems.

Details on Innovative T&L practices:

Active learningConducted through in-class activities
Project-based learningConducted through design assignments. Students in a group of 2 are given 1 design project that require solutions involving the design calculations and verification using QuickField. Compliance to the design specifications need to be given in the form of written reports.

Academic honesty and plagiarism:

Assignments are individual tasks and NOT group activities (UNLESS EXPLICITLY INDICATED AS GROUP ACTIVITIES)
Copying of work (texts, simulation results etc.) from other students/groups or from other sources is not allowed. Brief quotations are allowed and then only if indicated as such. Existing texts should be reformulated with your own words used to explain what you have read. It is not acceptable to retype existing texts and just acknowledge the source as a reference. Be warned: students who submit copied work will obtain a mark of zero for the assignment and disciplinary steps may be taken by the Faculty. It is also unacceptable to do somebody else’s work, to lend your work to them or to make your work available to them to copy.
