Applicable to all lectures:

- I would suggest following the "Sustainable Energy, (by Richard Dunlap)" book as the
main reference where possible and complementing it with other references as required.
The instructor references for this book already have a set of presentation slides that can
be used.

- A good rule of thumb for presentation size is roughly one slide per minute (excluding
the start and finish slides). Therefore each 45 minute lecture should have roughly 50
slides. The draft lecture provided will cover the first 45 minutes of the lecture.

- Typically, the second 45 minutes of the lecture will be run as a lecture tutorial.
Therefore we will need a number of questions and solutions that we can go through.
These questions need to be similar to the sort of questions we will be including in the
mid semester test and final exam. Again, the "Sustainable Energy" book provides a good
starting point with the questions at the end of each chapter. We can also include some
questions from the test bank but we should keep some of these reserved for the test
and exam.

Specific to this lecture (Energy Basics, Power System Fundamentals)

- I could not see many slides on the first topic of the lecture which is "Energy Basics".
This section should familiarize student with: what is energy, what are the units, what are
different types of energy, how is each energy calculated for different forms,
conservation of energy, etc. Refer to the "Sustainable Energy" book chapter 1 and
associated instructor slides.

- The goal of the "Power System Fundamentals" section is to teach students: what is a
power system, what are the different parts, how does power flow from generation to
load, what system parameters need to be controlled and how (i.e. Frequency and
voltage), what is Power factor, Power quality and the topic of single phase vs three-
phase systems.
The content from slides 27 to the end were excellent. With regards to some of the
earlier slides (eg 13, 14, 16), we do not need to focus too much on "circuits theory" at
this stage as this can always be included later on if needed.
