Unit abstract
Energy, either from traditional fossil fuels or sustainable alternative energy sources, needs to beconverted into an appropriate format to allow for efficient reliable transmission and distribution tothe various users, at acceptable quantities, to meet their requirements.The dissemination of electrical energy is a problem of ever-growing complexity as ourdependency grows on its use and consistency of availability. Our communications, transport andcommercial operational systems, to name but a few, would all come to an abrupt halt, should itfail to deliver. Historically, ‘heavy current’ engineers have focused broadly on thermal/current,voltage and system operation constraints. Now with environmental concerns increasing,aesthetic issues, maximising use of existing systems through upgrades, preventive and faultmanagement and reduction of energy loss throughout the transmission and distribution systemall need to be taken into account.This unit develops an understanding of transmission and distribution topics and focuses on theuse of overhead lines and cables within power systems. The origin and propagation of surges andtransients are analysed. The subject matter of power system faults is, for simplicity, limited toanalysing symmetrical faults and logically relates to aspects of power system protectionschemes. The synchronisation, operation and use of synchronous machines are alsoinvestigated
This unit aims to develop the learners’ own practical sports performance in team sports, focusing on the application of skills, techniques and tactics. This is achieved through participation in practical activities, and reflection on their performances and those of other performers.
Learners will have the opportunity to practice and refine their individual skills and techniques, investigate and experience different team tactics and formations, and review and analyse their own performance in these areas and that of other individuals.
The rules and regulations of team sport are also investigated, as an awareness of the rules can often lead to an improvement in performance. Throughout the unit, learners will be made aware of safe practice relating to all those participating in the sport.

On completion of this unit learners will be able to interpret requirements for a spreadsheet, take unstructured data, plan how to use it in a spreadsheet, create and populate a spreadsheet, use relevant functions and tools to manipulate the data and produce outputs to present the data graphically to support decision making.
On completion of this unit learners will be able to modify an existing database and produce a relational database. They will also be able to create queries to interrogate a database and find specific records and produce reports based on the results of these queries and create a user interface for the database.
On completion of this unit learners will be able to show how the interactive product meets both the user needs and extends their capability within the use of applications software such as website development.
On completion of this unit learners will be able to create a digital image that communicates the intended message effectively, meeting the client’s needs, and they will have extended their capability within the use of digital editing software packages.
