Suggested Student Activities:
Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-related co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the various outcomes in this course: Students should conduct following activities in group and prepare reports of about 5 pages for each activity, also collect/record physical evidences for their (students) portfolio which will be useful for their placement interviews:
- Visit any wind power plant nearby to your area and take the help of wind power plant in-charge to know the operation and maintenance of plant, and write the procedure of
- Maintenance
- Calculation of cost per unit.
- Visit any Solar PV power plant nearby to your area and take the help of Solar PV power plant in-charge to know operation and maintenance plant, and write the procedure of
- Maintenance
- Calculation of Cost Per unit Area.
- Read the safety manual on maintenance of
- wind power plant
- Solar PV Plant and write important safety measures while troubleshooting Power Electronics circuits.
- Do internet survey of various meters used in Wind Power Plant and Solar PV Power Plant and write the report on them with Specification.
- Do internet survey of Hybrid power Plant (wind Power Plant and Solar PV Power Plant) and write the report with necessity and Capacity.
- Library / Internet survey of wind power systems and Solar PV systems.
- Prepare power point presentation or animation for understanding different Power electronics circuits behavior used in Wind Power systems and Solar PV Power Systems.
- Analyse Power Electronics circuits behavior while troubleshooting the faults in wind and solar PV Power Systems.
- Practice Pspice/Matlab to analyse power flow in the Solar PV system and Wind power system.
Suggested Special Instructional Strategies:
These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various outcomes in this course:
- Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub topics.
- L in item No. 4 does not mean only the traditional lecture method, but different types of teaching methods and media that are to be employed to develop the outcomes.
- About 15-20% of the topics/sub-topics which is relatively simpler or descriptive in nature is to be given to the students for self-directed learning and assess the development of the COs through classroom presentations (see implementation guideline for details).
- With respect to item No.10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and provisions for co-curricular activities.
- Guide students in undertaking micro-projects.
- Correlate subtopics with power system utility and electrical equipments.
- Use proper equivalent analogy to explain different concepts.
- Use Flash/Animations to explain various theorems in circuit analysis.
- Use open source PSpice/Matlab models to explain different concepts of electric circuit.
