Course Overview
PDU (PEB) – Pending approval
Effective from AY2025/26 Trimester 2 (January 2026), the Postgraduate Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering will be transiting to Graduate Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. For more details, please refer to the full notice here.
To provide the module participants with in-depth knowledge of the deterioration and failure mechanisms of major power systems equipment and assets, and with the competency to monitor and assess the conditions and health status of these assets.
With the number of aging assets in power generation and T&D growing, and increasing installation of new type of assets such as solar photovoltaic and power electronic-based systems, there is urgent need to improve the knowledge and competency of power engineering professionals in condition monitoring of these assets. The topics of this module will be presented in three broad areas:
- Condition monitoring of rotating electrical machines – Generators and motors are subjected to high mechanical and electrical stresses and have many possible failure mechanisms. Requirements of instrumentation, signal processing and monitoring through temperature, chemical, vibrational and electrical techniques are covered.
- Condition monitoring of high voltage equipment – Transmission lines, cables, transformer and switchgears are subjected to high voltage stresses and understanding of failure mechanisms in the different types of insulation employed in such equipment is important. Gas, oil and partial discharge analysis are covered.
- Recent advances in condition monitoring and health prognosis – Electrochemical-based energy storage systems, solar photovoltaic systems and power flow converters are increasingly integrated as assets in power grids and the common failure mechanisms are of electrochemical origins, semiconductor nature or metallic nature in the die-packaging interface. Big data, pervasive sensing and computational intelligence are transforming the nature of condition monitoring and health prognosis applications in smart grids.
