- Electric energy is needed for lighting, heating, domestic appliances, industrial electrical machinery and electrical traction
- it is desirable to protect the power system from harm during the fault conditions and ensure maximum continuity
- Devices must be provided to switch on or off generators, transmission lines, distributors and other equipment under both normal and abnormal conditions
- This is achieved by an apparatus called switchgear essentially consists of switching and protecting devices such as switches, fuse, circuit breakers, relays, etc
This module covers the application development life cycle for mobile apps. The module initially provides an overview of mobile platforms and then looks at the application development methodology used for mobile apps, taking into consideration the limitations of the mobile device platform and the opportunities provided through GPS, orientation sensors and networking. During the development process, interaction design considerations are considered with regard to the interface technologies provided by modern mobile devices. This will incorporate different implementation features that can be applied to mobile device applications, and the different platforms and development environments available. The growing mobile application marketplace and its impact on mobile application development is explored.
The course aims at making students understand electrical drives and the related problems. Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understating of :
1. Knowledge of drive types
2. applications of power electronics in controlling electrical machines
3. applications of controlled electrical drives
4. Design an optimum drives of electrical machines
Any physical activity in this world, whether carried out by human beings or by nature, is dependent on the flow of energy in one form or the other. The word ‘energy’ itself is derived from the Greek: word ‘en-ergon’, which means ‘in-work’ or ‘work content’. The work output depends on the energy input. In addition , eenergy is one of the major inputs for the economic development of any country. It is in this regards, the students are taught how clean and inexhaustible energy resources can be converted to electricity, aiming at increasing electricity generation capacity to meet energy demand.
The module will cover the following chapters
Chap. 1: Solar Energy
Chap.2: Wind Energy
Chap.3: Geothermal Energy
Chap. 4: Biomass Energy
On successful completion of this course, student should be able to:
- Understand the basic properties of different renewable energy sources and technologies for their utilization,
- Undertake simple analysis of energy potential of renewable sources of energy,
- Interpret advantages and disadvantages of different renewable sources of energy
- Select engineering approach to problem solving when implementing the projects on renewable sources
- Describe main technical systems designed for utilization of renewable sources of energy
•The topics will be served as an effective means to introduce students to advanced mathematical and operations research methods applied to practical electric power engineering problems.
