Study Plan
I have completed my bachelors in Electrical engineering with specialization in Power. I am applying for Chinese Government Scholarship for postgraduate studies and this is a brief study plan.
During my school and college, I was very sharp in analytical problem solving and this quality made physics and mathematics one of my favorite subjects. I was very keen on performing the physics practical. My inclination towards physics and mathematics compelled to choose electrical engineering for my Bachelors degree.
I got admission in NUST, one of the top engineering institutions of my country. In university, there were several important courses that I took provided theoretical knowledge about the fundamentals of electrical engineering. The course about power transmission really inspired me and forced me to choose my majors in Electrical Power. In my senior years, I developed a strong interest in the field of power generation and power system protection. So, I decided to do my final year project on the “Protection system of 3-phase interconnected distribution system”. I was leading my group in this project and my tasks were the designing and simulation of the project. The main challenges were to design the directional element and provide a reliable protection in the event of a fault. The directional relay, which I designed, was a microcontroller based model to detect the direction of power flow. The microcontroller in this model compared the phases of voltage and current using the input fed by zero crossing detectors. The directional relay was used as a control element with an over-current relay. The project was a source of great experience in the field of system protection and it only left me asking for more.

...lternate energy is China and has achieved tremendous progress in this field in the recent times. So, I have decided to acquire my postgraduate degree from China. After consulting with my friend who is currently studying in China, he recommended your University based on its strong faculty, comprehensive curriculum, diverse research groups in the field of Electrical and Power Engineering. I wish to get admission into the masters program in “Electric Power System and Its Automation” offered at your university. I strongly believe that graduate studies at your university will equip me with tools that will help me to achieve my future goals. After completing my masters, I wish to further refine my knowledge by getting a doctorate degree. Afterwards, I plan to join a career in academia while continuing my research in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
