Write Course Work in “The Effectiveness of Deployment of Smart Energy Meters in the Electricity Sector in the Sultanate of Oman”. I have uploaded my “Proposal” read it to know the idea of this CW.

Aim:

To assess the student ability to apply research methods in a real scenario that will produce a high-quality literature review, data analysis and other technical approaches to the chosen project topic.

Learning Outcomes:

-Illustrate the aims and objectives of project

-Evaluate the literature relevant to a chosen project topic

-Evaluate a range of data analysis methods, experimental methods, alternative approaches in relation to specific project objectives

-Develop a research proposal and plan for a research project in an appropriate area relevant to the programme of study

-Examine the ethical and environmental issues involved in undertaking research-based project work

-Predict resource issues such as time, materials and equipment

Task(s)

A critical study report of the project work undertaken and done during Research Methodology stage has to be presented in this coursework and shall be called the critical study report. This report should have a clear start beginning with the introduction to the project and end at the pre-design stage. Information within submissions should also be logical and well grouped. Students are advised to follow the instructions given below to present the Critical Study Report.

Critical Study Report should be structured and submitted in the order as given below:

1. 1st page – Details of the Project (as per template given in page 4)

2. Abstract

3. Table of contents

4. List of Figures

5. List of Tables

6. List of Symbols

7. Chapter 1: Introduction

8. Chapter 2: Literature review

9. Chapter 3: Data Analysis/ Pre-Design

10. Conclusion

11. Future work to be carried out in Technical Project.

12. Gantt Chart

13. References

14. Formal Project Proposal (Approved)

15. Project Risk Assessment form

You are expected to present the following contents under each heading:

Abstract

The Abstract may contain description of the topic, need of the present study, important applications of the topic, brief description about previous literatures, predesign, future work to be carried out in Technical Project and conclusions. The word count is limited to 250.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The introduction may contain overall view of the topic, Identification of the need, Problem description, Objectives, Scope, Value & Importance of the research and feasibility study.

The student may provide introduction to the research problems pertaining to the project with detailed explanation.

Chapter 2: Literature review

The students are expected to critically evaluate minimum of five previous literatures pertaining to their project topic that contain key finding of previous authors such as methodology adopted, parameters used, results obtained and important conclusions along with shortcomings / gap areas. In text citation must be made without fail. The in-text citation and referencing should be in CCE Harvard referencing style. This chapter should precisely link the present study to the collected literature with gap areas identified. Finally, a chapter summary may be presented.

Chapter 3: Data Analysis / Pre-Design

Students may provide statistical tools planned to use in Technical Project (TP), 2-D, 3-D drawings, Proposed model/ circuit diagram, other data interpretations using graphs, surveys results, case studies, research plans, activity flow charts, Gantt charts etc. The outcome of this chapter would be useful to do the experimentation, fabrication and associated detailed analysis of the research problem during TP stage. Finally, a chapter summary may be presented.

Conclusion & Future work:

The conclusion made in the report should correlate with the aims and objectives of the project.

Future works planned for Technical Project stage are to be mentioned.
