I. Rationale:
This is the companion lab to EE 335 Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution which is a
compulsory course for EE students. The development of electrical power systems has immensely
contributed to the technological advances of the humankind over the past century. Electrical power
provides clean and convenient energy to the modern society, which is necessary for the realization of
the luxuries we are enjoying in this world today. In summary, the modern world and society does not
exist without the availability of electricity. To study and analyze the large scale power systems remains
impossible without the help of software tools. With the advent of computer aided tools, now it is
possible to model and design large power systems and analyze their performance even before they are
built. For expansion of existing power systems as well, the changes in power systems are first simulated
and then applied. Through the labs of this course, students will be introduced to the application of
software for modelling and simulating power systems and its components. Students will be utilizing
software which include MATLAB Simulink and PSS®E Xplore which is a power specific software
used in industries. This will reinforce the concepts learnt in theory classes.

II. Course Aims and Outcomes:

A. Aims
The aims and objectives of these labs include the following:
1. To interpret representation of power systems by different standards
2. To investigate the models of transmission lines and analyze their performance at
different conditions
3. To obtain solutions and analyze power systems in steady-state and fault conditions
4. To make students capable of applying appropriate simulation techniques in MATLAB
Simulink environment for simulating electric power systems and modelling its
components
5. To introduce PSS® Xplore and explore its feature for obtaining power flow solutions
6. To investigate the operation of protection system by simulating them in MATLAB
Simulink environment
With the above mentioned aims, by end of this course, students will be able to model standard
test systems using PSS®E / MATLAB, analyze their performance at different conditions and
investigate the effects of applied changes which is the basis for any research in the field of
electrical power systems.

III. Format and Procedures:
1. Medium of Instruction
a. Type of Instruction. Following types of instructional mode would be employed in the
course: -
i. Synchronous 3-hour lab session per week at lab timings
ii. Asynchronous recorded videos for background theory and in-lab task
explanation which can be viewed during lab session as per the pace of each
student
b. Course Participation. Engagement in lab will be gauged. Various instruments would
be factored in engagement. Participation in Q&A during the synchronous sessions,
interaction in office hours, contribution in creation of digital presence will all be
factored in it. Lab tasks will be graded when results are shown by sharing screen and
attendance will be marked on the basis of task completion in lab (not merely by joining
the session).
c. Details of work-hours. Overall, in-lab & outside lab work-hours (per week) are as
follows: -
Hours/ Total hours
No Type of activity
week (15 weeks)
1 Synchronous lab session 3 45
Asynchronous / Outside Lab (including pre-lab and
2 0.5 7.5
post lab)
Total Hours 3.5 52. 5

Each lab will have three components:

• Prelab Assignments: Before you enter the lab, you’re required to thoroughly
read the lab handout. Each lab has a prelab assignment; in which you’ll be asked to find
answers to a few questions. These questions will either require you to look back on the
content covered in the class or do some research online. In the latter case, you’re

4
 required to provide references. This assignment must be completed and turned in to the
lab instructor before you will be permitted to start the lab.
• Conducting the experiment: During the allotted lab time, you’ll conduct the
scheduled experiment for the day and collect relevant data. The provided handout will
outline the procedure. The contribution to the grade from this part will be based on your
presence, completion of data gathering, and answers to possible questions posed by the
instructor.
• Post-lab Assignment: You are required to submit your assignment at the
beginning of the next scheduled lab session. The rationale behind this assignment is to
have you reflect on the underlying purpose of the experiment. You’ll be provided with
a list of questions as well to help you reflect. Post-lab questions may be related to the
power system network of Pakistan. This will help you understand the power system and
the standards followed in Pakistan by different entities like K-Electric, NTDC and
WAPDA.

2. Recording Policy
a. As per HU’s teaching policy during Covid-19, all synchronous sessions will be
recorded and uploaded on Microsoft Streams / Panopto. Links for all recorded sessions
will be available at the course LMS site and would also be included in the uploaded
slides.
b. Links to all pre-recorded videos (asynchronous sessions) will be made available in the
course LMS site.
3. Required & Reference Books, Presentations and Support Material
a. For each lab, lab manual (.pdf format) will be shared with students through LMS 1
week before lab.
b. Editable word copy of each lab will also be shared for students to add the required
simulation results, collected data and its analysis as instructed in lab manual.
4. Lab Manual Submission
a. For each week’s lab, assignments will be created for lab manual submission, as well as
for pre-lab and post lab exercises at the course LMS site.
5. Engagement, Net-etiquettes and Participation Rules
a. Norms for online teaching will be mutually decided during the first lecture.
b. For all synchronous lectures’ students need to keep their microphones on when asked.
Norms for use of cameras will be discussed during the first lecture.
c. As mentioned above course participation is an important aspect for this course –
therefore, one key guide is to give 100% attention to the synchronous lectures. This
means if the instructor asks to participate in a poll, break-out rooms or question to the
whole class then not participating is not an option. There will be multiple engagement
opportunities during the course in the form of breakout rooms, live polls and surveys.
For synchronous sessions, you are expected to participate in all of these activities. For
asynchronous sessions, you have to comment whenever requested during the videos on
the comments thread inside Panopto or any other tool being used.
d. Do’s and Don’ts - would be collectively developed in the first two weeks of classes.

IV. Course Requirements:
Simulation based lab tasks require MATLAB with Simulink Simscape Library and few labs require
PSS®E Xplore. Students must have MATLAB (2016 or later version) installed on their systems
before first lab.
PSS®E Xplore is a free version of PSS®E software suite by Siemens available at no cost for faculty
and students and its setup can downloaded from Siemens website. Related link will be shared later
when labs related to this software commence. Requirement of any other software will be
communicated if needed.

VI. Attendance Policy:

During COVID -19, the existing attendance policy is suspended and replaced with this special policy
on student engagement listed on this link (To be provided later on).
Expectations - Students are expected to watch all pre-recorded sessions and attend all synchronous sessions.
Faculty members will measure attendance in dynamic ways including in class participation, feedback on recorded
sessions, performance in assessments etc. Students failing to join any live session must inform their instructor
within 24 hours along with the reason. If a student can’t attend any or majority of the live sessions and the nature
of the class requires in-class participation, then the student can be dropped from the course. Please refer to the
COVID-19 attendance policy for more details.

VII. Accommodations for students with disabilities

In compliance with the Habib University policy and equal access laws, I am available to discuss
appropriate academic accommodations that may be required for student with disabilities. Requests for
academic accommodations are to be made during the first two weeks of the semester, except for
unusual circumstances, so arrangements can be made. Students are encouraged to register with the
Office of Academic Performance to verify their eligibility for appropriate accommodations.
VIII. Inclusivity Statement
We understand that our members represent a rich variety of backgrounds and perspectives. Habib
University is committed to providing an atmosphere for learning that respects diversity. While working
together to build this community we ask all members to:

7
  share their unique experiences, values and beliefs
 be open to the views of others
 honor the uniqueness of their colleagues
 appreciate the opportunity that we have to learn from each other in this community
 value each other’s opinions and communicate in a respectful manner
 keep confidential discussions that the community has of a personal (or professional) nature
 use this opportunity together to discuss ways in which we can create an inclusive environment
in this course and across the Habib community

IX. Office hours:

Clearly mention the time and location of the office hours. If the office hours are online, then share the
meeting link for whatever platform you are using. During these hours the course instructor will be
available to answer questions or provide additional help. Every student enrolled in this course must
meet individually with the course instructor during course office hours at least twice during the
semester. The first meeting should happen within the first five weeks of the semester but must occur
before midterms. Any student who does not meet with the instructor may face a grade reduction or
other penalties at the discretion of the instructor and will have an academic hold placed by the
Registrar’s Office.

X. Academic Integrity
Each student in this course is expected to abide by the Habib University Student Honor Code of
Academic Integrity. Any work submitted by a student in this course for academic credit will be the
student's own work (unless group work is explicitly being allowed).
Scholastic dishonesty shall be considered a serious violation of these rules and regulations and is
subject to strict disciplinary action as prescribed by Habib University regulations and policies.
Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on exams, plagiarism on assignments,
and collusion.

PLAGIARISM: Plagiarism is the act of taking the work created by another person or entity and
presenting it as one’s own for the purpose of personal gain or of obtaining academic credit. As per
University policy, plagiarism includes the submission of or incorporation of the work of others without
acknowledging its provenance or giving due credit according to established academic practices. This
includes the submission of material that has been appropriated, bought, received as a gift, downloaded,
or obtained by any other means. Students must not, unless they have been granted permission from all
faculty members concerned, submit the same assignment or project for academic credit for different
courses.

CHEATING: The term cheating shall refer to the use of or obtaining of unauthorized information in
order to obtain personal benefit or academic credit.

COLLUSION: Collusion is the act of providing unauthorized assistance to one or more person or of
not taking the appropriate precautions against doing so.

8
All violations of academic integrity will also be immediately reported to the Student Conduct Office.

You are encouraged to study together and to discuss information and concepts covered in lecture and
the sections with other students. You can give "consulting" help to or receive "consulting" help from
such students. However, this permissible cooperation should never involve one student having
possession of a copy of all or part of work done by someone else, in the form of an e-mail, an e-mail
attachment file, a diskette, or a hard copy.

Should copying occur, the student who copied work from another student and the student who gave
material to be copied will both be in violation of the Student Code of Conduct.

During examinations, you must do your own work. Talking or discussion is not permitted during the
examinations, nor may you compare papers, copy from others, or collaborate in any way. Any
collaborative behavior during the examinations will result in failure of the exam, and may lead to
failure of the course and University disciplinary action.

Penalty for violation of this Code can also be extended to include failure of the course and University
disciplinary action.
