Application of project management (PM) principle in UniMAP's wind turbine development program (UWTP) (Restricted)

This study comprises two main components, namely the design and development of a wind turbine system to be erected in UniMAP's campus grounds (called UniMAP's Wind Turbine Development Program; UWTP), and the use of project management (PM) principles in the implementation of the project. The design and development of the wind turbine system takes into account the requirements of the university to generate electricity to offset the current high use of this resource. In order for the turbine system to be effective, it has to be built in a hilly area that has enough wind. However, the cost of such a project is very high, and this does not fulfil one of the requirements of the university. Hence, three alternative designs are proposed, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, including in terms of cost. In terms of the use of PM principles, tools such as Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA), Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT), Gantt Chart, Uncertainties and Risk Assessment, Budgeting, Communication Plan, Scheduling, and Network Diagram are used.
