Distribution
Nominal duration: 72 hours total time commitment
This time commitment includes the structured activities, preparation

reading, and attendance at each webinar, completing exercises, practical
assessments and proctored assessments.
It is also expected that students spend additional time on readings,

MODULE DETAILS
personal study, independent research and learning, practicing on remote
labs and required software and working on any projects and assignments.
This module covers the fundamentals of electricity, alternating current

systems, electrical generation, transmission, the key equipment of
electrical systems and various elements of a power distribution system
such as, equipment sizing, equipment selection, planning of power
distribution system, fault level in electrical systems, power distribution
system automation maintenance and asset management.
The purpose of the module is for the participants to review electrical

engineering principles and gain fundamental knowledge used for the
MODULE PURPOSE planning, selecting, testing and maintenance procedures of an industrial
power distribution system, focusing on the medium voltage (1kV-36kV)
power considerations applicable in oil and gas industries.

METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient,

current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways
including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, structured
assessments, samples and questioning. This will include short answer
questions on the knowledge content, the use of remote and virtual labs,
and writing tasks to apply the learning to academic tasks.
CONDITIONS OF ASSESSMENT
Assessor Requirements:
Assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the standards for

registered training organisation (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.
Assessors must also hold a tertiary qualification in engineering or related

field.
ASSESSMENT STRATEGY
The RTO must also ensure that trainers and assessors keep their industry
knowledge up to date through ongoing professional development.
Assessment Conditions:
Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and

numeracy skills beyond those required in this module. The candidate must
have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required.
The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace

procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards,
manuals and reference materials.
Assessments may be open book assessment and may be completed off

campus. Invigilation software will be used for some assessments to ensure
authenticity of work completed.
Model answers must be provided for all knowledge-based assessments to

ensure reliability of assessment judgements when marking is undertaken
by different assessors.
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
1. Outline the fundamental principles of electrical power systems, power

generation, transmission and distribution
2. Identify the key characteristics of typical equipment and systems for
power distribution in oil and gas industries, smart and micro-grids
