Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement and monitor under frequency load shedding for isolated and integrated generation network systems.Under frequencyload shedding is the deliberate shutdown of electricpowerin a part or parts of thepower system to prevent the failure of the entiresystem. It is generally caused by overloading a power source or problems with a prime mover such as a turbine.Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan work, set under frequency load shedding, respond to under frequency load shedding operation and the completion of all documentation. Individuals will, in general, work as an operator in a power generation facility. Power generation plant operators are typically trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Note: Workplace practiceThe application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence or training permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on gas and electrical installations. Additional conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements. | ||
