COMPLEX ENGINEERING PROBLEM

Electrical Power Transmission (EE-352)
 Complex Engineering Problem
Complex engineering problems are following the Washington Accord (IEA2015). These problems
must involve attributes (a) and at least one of the attributes (b) – (g) stated below:
a. Cannot be resolved without in-depth engineering knowledge.
b. Involve wide-ranging or conflicting technical, engineering and other issues.
c. Have no obvious solution and require abstract thinking and originality in analysis to
formulate suitable models.
d. Involve infrequently encountered issues.
e. Outside problems encompassed by standards and codes of practice for professional
engineering.
f. Involve diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs.

g. High level problems including many component parts or sub-problems.

CEP (EE-352 Electrical Power Transmission)

Problem Statement:
Perform technical analysis of transmission line parameters (efficiency, voltage regulation, corona
loss etc.) for practical geometries/systems (3 numbers) used in Literature/Utility companies using
software (MATLAB/VB/GUI etc.). Comprehend the environmental impact for these transmission line.
Choose any one geometry and propose two different optimal Electrical/Mechanical design for it.
Moreover, compare the results with the help of graph for both designs and discus it.

Deliverables
All pages should be set with the same margin. The left margin should be 4 cm and 2.5 cm for the
top, right and bottom margins, Font size for main text body=12, line spacing=1.5cm
Submit the software code of the assigned tasks to the course teacher

Methodology:
With the Help of Books/Research Papers (at least 10)/ Authentic Web sources (For data), Select
at least 5 geometries.
CEP Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are as follows:
CLO1: Analyze transmission line Electrical / Mechanical parameters for practical geometries
used in Literature/Utility companies.
CLO2: Evaluate and select transmission line Electrical / Mechanical parameters to optimize the
system’s performance
CLO3: Comprehend the environmental impact of transmission line.
CLO4: Demonstrate an ability to use resources (knowledge, material etc) to assess health and
safety issues with regard to solution of the complex engineering problem (CEP) and demonstrate
task-oriented management skills as a member in a team
.
