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 |
Students are assessed in both the theoretical (T) and the theoretical-practical (TP) components. In the theoretical component, assessment is based on a written exam (CFreq) and a development project with an oral discussion (TD). The grade for the theoretical component (CT) is calculated according to the following formula: CT = 20% × TD + 80% × CFreq.
In the theoretical-practical component, assessment includes a written exam (PE), three mini-tests (MT), and an individual assignment (TI). The grade for the theoretical-practical component (CTP) is determined by the following formula: CTP = 70% × PE + 30% × (20% × TI + 80% × MT).
The final grade (CFinal) results from a weighting of 50% of the theoretical component grade (CT) or the Exam, and 50% of the theoretical-practical component grade (CTP). This formula applies to all assessment periods.
