Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Basic knowledge about the analysis of linear single-phase and balanced three-phase ac circuits
Objectives
The purpose of these training supplements is to provide adequate knowledge of Electrical Engineering that, due to the previous training of some students, has not been acquired. The specific objectives are: - Know the structure of an electrical system and the equipment that composes it. - Know the basic types of analysis of electrical systems (power flow, short circuits, transient stability) and use commercial tools to carry out these types of analysis. - Know the principles of control of the fundamental parameters of an electrical system: frequency and voltage.
Learning Outcomes
Description of contents: programme
0. Introduction and basics. 1. Per-unit quantities. 2. Load-flow solutions and control. 3. Symmetrical three-phase faults. 4. Power system stability. 5. Frequency control and voltage control. The sessions corresponding to topics 2 to 4 include practices with commercial electrical system simulation programs (PowerWorld Simulator or similar).
Learning activities and methodology
Learning activities: - AF1 Theoretical classes: Master classes where the basic concepts are explained. - AF2 Practical classes and AF3 Theoretical-practical classes: Computer laboratory activities for solving practical cases using the PowerWorld Simulator tool. - AF6 Group work and AF7 Individual work: Preparation of reports with the resolution of practical cases solved in the computer laboratory. - AF8 Evaluation tests: Quick evaluation tests, through Aula Global. Methodology: - MD1 Presentations in class by the teacher with the support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the course's main concepts are developed and bibliography is provided to complement the students' learning. - MD2 Resolution in the computer classroom of practical cases posed by the teacher, individually or in groups. The cases to be solved are practical applications of concepts explained in the master classes. Students make use of commercial electrical system analysis tools. - MD4 Preparation of works and reports, individually or in groups, on the practical cases solved in the computer room.
