Dec 02 Submission of Case 1 and Case 2 to Brightspace
Consider the following while preparing Case 1 and 2: A block diagram drawn on computer is MUST. The report must be typed not a collection handwritten images. Try to work again on Case 1 including clustering of the wind turbines and putting more details on sizing transformers and circuit breakers. For the transmission system, you should properly calculate the current based on VA, V and number of circuits used then consult tables to find, R, L, and C, then A , B, C, and D, Vr and IR, then the efficiency and voltage regulation. You should also include some information about protection and standards. Case 2 is just about few substations, distribution systems, and circuit breakers.
Dec 09 Submission of Project Report
Dec 14 Send Project Video by Email to: rhabash@site.uottawa.ca
  12:00 Submission of e-Portfolio (Download the Template) be Email: 30 marks
e-Portfolio is composed of the entire single-line diagram (power plant to various loads) plus the wind farm. Size all components and include related data (in numbers) within each section of the power system. This include, for example, levels of voltage, current capacity, configurations, type and number of elements, efficiency, voltage regulation, etc.
The e-Portfolio should reflect all design aspects of Case 1 and Case 2.
Write your name and number at the bottom of the portfolio.
Dec 16 Submission of E-Poster and E-Portfolio (One PDF File) at Brightspace
Dec 16 MRT 2018: 14:00-17:00: PEER Evaluation of Project Videos (Buildings: We Live in)
