Aims |
|
This module aims to provide students with: The philosophical differences between measurement and monitoring systems. The role of sensors in providing inputs to these sytems. The output requirements for measurement systems and monitoring systems. The need to provide information without the surfeit of data. The application of sensors, measurement systems and monitoring systems for electrical energy and power system networks. |
Pre-requisites before taking this module (other modules and/or general educational/academic requirements): |
Co-requisite modules: |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) To know and comprehend the interrelations between sensors, measurement transducer, measurement systems and monitoring systems. |
|
(LO2) To have a firm understanding of the modulation techniques and sensor types for energy and power system networks measurement and monitoring. |
|
(LO3) To understand the need for monitoring and measurement in an energy and power system network. |
|
(LO4) To understand the potential advantages for using the informaton from such sensors etc., for managing energy and power network assets. |
|
(S1) On successful completion of the module, students should be able to show experience and enhancement of the following key skills: independent learning. problem solving and design skills. |
|
(S2) After successful completion of the module, students should be able to: determine the benefits that a measurement system of monitoring might have in an energy system. Quantify the benefits of measurement and monitoring. Design a simple measurement and monitoring system balancing the constraints of data collection and analysis with information. |
|
(S3) After successful completion of the module, the students should be able to: Demonstrate potential advantages of sensors, measurements and monitoring systems for energy and power networks. Identify methods for extracting relevant information from data. Recognise the need to keep data to a minimum whilst maintaining optimum information. demonstrate that there are alternative potentially more powerful data processing methods that from first sight energy and seem to be counter intuitive but can give valuable information. Relate the basic measurement and monitoring approaches to energy and power systems. |
Syllabus |
|
Introduction to measurement, monitoring systems and sensors. A review of currently accepted practice for measurements (CT, VT, PD, Tap monitoring etc.,) in the transmission and distribution networks. Review of sensor technologies - present and future for the network. In depth analysis of 2 measurement systems. How the data is collected, processed, displayed and used. A practical example would be to use data from EON from their generation measurement and monitoring system (or another DNO). In depth analysis monitoring systems and processing methods. Explore the benefits of wide area and holistic monitoring. How to identify and deal with uncertainty in measurement and monitoring systems Methods for processing data for diagnostic purposes and what is meant by prognostics? Potential future developments. 5 to10 year look forward. |
