Learning outcomes |
To acquire knowledge regarding the organization and operation of electric power systems - electricity production, transport and distribution in a current perspective of sustainable development.
The syllabus will provide students, and in accordance with the general objectives, the following competences:
• Identify the energy sources and discuss them in the environment context;
• Identify energy conversion processes (renewable and non-renewable);
• Recognize the different organizational structures of the electricity sector in a market environment;
• Design the synchronous generator model and perform stability analysis;
• Analyze the Synchronous Machine in its Operational Modes: Generator and Compensator;
• Development of techniques for autonomous work and bibliography research;
• Carrying out team work and planning and developing a group work.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The theoretical component (T) aims to transmit theoretical knowledge. The theoretical-practical componente intended to be carried out by a monitoring approach, helping the students to achieve a practical knowledge, and are dedicated to the resolution of exercises and laboratory works.
Students will develop their learning process not only by their attendance in class, but also in a self-sustaining learning, appealing to the pedagogical materials as books and handouts, websites, and, in laboratory practice, using software packages.
Students are evaluated in the theoretical component (T) through a written test (CFreq) and two development works with oral discussion. In the theoretical-practical component (TP) students are evaluated through 4 mini-tests. The final classification (CFinal) will be: CFinal=50% (T or Exam) + 50% (TP).
The formula for calculating the final classification (CFinal) is valid for all assessment moments.
