The purpose of this course is to learn electrical transmission and distribution systems design, operation and simulation. For this aim, elements of the electrical power system will be introduced, explaining the usual protection and earthing systems.



SKILLS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES:

THE GENERAL AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENT AN OVERVIEW OF THE STRUCTURE AND OPERATION OF AN ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM. THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ARE ANALYSED FROM THE GENERATION PLANTS TO THE FINAL CUSTOMERS .



DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT SHOULD LEARN TO IDENTIFY THE VARIOUS SUBSYSTEMS IN WHICH THE POWER SYSTEM IS SUBDIVIDED, AS WELL AS ITS CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING THEIR FEATURES, APPLICATIONS AND OPERATING PRINCIPLES.



LIKEWISE, STUDENTS SHOULD LEARN THE BASIC CALCULATIONS NEEDED FOR SIZING AND DESIGNING LINES, SUBSTATIONS, AND TRANSFORMER STATIONS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE APPLIABLE STANDARDS. ALSO, THE FACT OF HANDLING DIFFERENT SOFTWARE TOOLS WIDELY USED IN THE FIELD OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING WILL PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH POWERFUL MEANS TO COMPREHEND THE THEORETICAL CONTENTS DISCUSSED IN THE COURSE. FULFILLING ALL THESE GOALS WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST WHEN SOLVING MORE COMPLEX PROBLEMS ALONG THEIR CAREER.



AS A WHOLE, THE SUBJECT IS FOCUSED AS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE REST OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL SUBJECTS RELATED TO ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.

Module competencies developed in this subject:



- M03E5 Capacity for calculation and design of electrical machinery.



Learning results of the module:



- Resolution of multidisciplinary problems in the industrial field. For this purpose, based on the acquired knowledge, the students will learn to:



- Design and implement industrial facilities, considering such diverse aspects

(energy, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental).



- Design and implement production processes and control, considering aspects of

various kinds (energy, mechanical, structural, electrical, environmental)

Class hours are divided into master lectures, computer practices, and seminars as follows:

MASTER LECTURES:

30 hours of theory (2 hours per week for the 15 weeks of the course).

7.5 hours for exercises.



COMPUTER PRACTICE:

10.5 hours of laboratory practices.



SEMINARS

12 hours of seminars.

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 35
  • Multiple-Choice Test (%): 35
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 15
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 15

Ordinary call: guidelines and resignation:

The assessment of the course in the ordinary call will be continuous, and it will be made as follows:

Percentage of the final mark:

• Theoretical and practical written exam 70% (theory test 35%, exercises 35%)

• Computer practice reports 15%

• reports of the seminars 15%



To pass the course the student must obtain a minimum of 4 points out of 10 in each of the four parts (seminars, computer practices, test review and exercises). Otherwise, the highest achievable grade will be 4.0.

Students shall have the right to be evaluated by final evaluation, whether or not they have participated in the continuous assessment. To take advantage of this right, the student will have to submit a letter to the teacher responsible for the course, expressing his/her will, in a nine-week period since the beginning of the course.

In case of choosing the final evaluation, in addition to taking a theoretical test (theory plus exercises), the student will have to attend an exam for seminars and computer laboratory too. all the parts will have to be passed.

The failure to attend the theoretical and practical examination of the subject will lead to be marked as exam not taken.

If the health condition prevents face-to-face instruction or evaluation, it will lead to online activity and students will be informed of this change.

The only system for evaluating the course at the extraordinary call will be the final evaluation.

The final evaluation tests for the extraordinary call will have enough test and evaluation activities to evaluate and measure the results of the course as defined, under equivalent conditions to the ordinary call. Positive results obtained by students during the course of the same school year could be kept. If, on the other hand, the results of continuous assessment during the course of the year are negative, these results will not be kept for extraordinary calls, and students will be able to obtain 100 per cent of their qualification during that call.

If the health condition prevents face-to-face instruction or evaluation, it will lead to online activity and students will be informed of this change.

All necessary material will be uploaded to Egela
