Assessment Task Instructions:

1. To allow for unforeseen circumstances such as illness, work or family commitments, it is advisable that you aim to complete the assessment a few days before the due date. It is your responsibility to ensure that you factor in any time difference between Perth, Western Australia and your location when submitting assessments.

2. Extension requests must be formally submitted by completing an extension request form and emailing the form to your unit coordinator along with a medical certificate or other supporting documentations.

3. Assessments must be submitted through TurnitIn (unless otherwise stated).

4. Only one (1) file can be submitted in as your main written submission.

* Supplementary or additional appendices must be clearly titled and directly submitted into the Supporting Documents Tab in the TurnitIn submission box. Should the assessor not be able to clearly link these documentations back to your main assessment, penalties may apply.

5. You must use the provided assessment Cover Page document and submit as your main written assessment in WORD FORMAT only. The only permissible file formats are .docx or .doc and you should not ‘embed' other files as pictures within the word document.

* Supplementary documents can be in other formats such as Word, PDF, Excel, Powerpoint etc.

6. You must correctly title your documents. For example:

COURSECODE_UNIT#_ASSESSMENT#_VERSION#_YOURNAME_DATE

E.g. ME501_Assessment2_v6.1_BobBrown_01Aug2018

7. You must reference all content used from other sources. Do not copy and paste from course materials or any other resources or quote other source without referencing.

8. Assessments submitted through emails or any other methods will NOT be accepted.

9. You must ensure that you have submitted the correct file. Once you have submitted, you will not be able to re-submit a second attempt after the due date.

10. Important note: Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in a zero grade. Please refer to the unit outline or EIT Policies & Procedures if you are unsure how to reference.

Assessment 2

Clearly label your question numbers on your answer sheet (no need to copy the questions over). Include all working out.

This assignment will contribute 20% weight towards the overall grade for this unit. This assessment will be assessed in Week 9 and you will submit by the due date set on the Moodle system. Suggested time allocation to complete this assignment is 3 hours.

Rationale:
This assessment item will evaluate your achievement standard for the learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this unit and demonstrating the attainment of EIT graduate attributes A1, B1, B2, D1, and E2.

Learning outcome:
1. Discriminate between the elements of the supply chain and how they function in order to map and interrogate the roles of:
a. Transmission - transformers, overhead lines and cables;
b. Distribution - transformers and substations, insulation equipment;
c. Auxiliary networks - protection equipment, energy management system, supervisory control, and data acquisition systems.
1. Contextualise alternative generation such as hydro generation, wind and solar generation and other energy generation systems to known and unknown situations
2. Apply principles in the energy efficiency and renewable energy policies and strategies with initiative and judgement
3. Demonstrate in-depth understanding of ac machines and its usage in dc and uninterrupted power supplies for use in automation

Graduate Attributes:

A1. Cognitive and technical skills to investigate, analyze and organize information and ideas and to communicate those ideas clearly and fluently, in both written and spoken forms appropriate to the audience.

B1. Ability to critically analyse and evaluate complex information and theoretical concepts.

B2. Ability to innovatively apply theoretical concepts, knowledge and approaches with a high level of accountability, in an engineering context.

D1. Breadth and depth of knowledge of engineering and understanding of future developments. E2. Knowledge of research principles and methods in an engineering context.

Question 1
Prepare a report of about 750-1000 words on the following topic:
List various Power Electronic Applications (in Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Transportation, Utility systems, Aerospace and Telecommunications) covering a wide power range from a few tens of Watts to several hundreds of Megawatts.

Question 2
Explain what is Percentage Impedance (Z%) of a transformer and when is this parameter required?

Question 3
i. List the parameters to be considered while selecting transistors for inverter circuits.
ii. Discuss the applications of SCR in power supply.

Question 4
