Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

To obtain basic skills in the area of the electrical network in steady state and in Facilities of power systems. Join knowledge of conventional production and distributed generation by renewable energy sources to the transmission and distribution of electricity. Knowledge of standards, regulations and technical orders applicable to these systems. Calculate the short-circuit currents and adapt the system protection equipment. Control of frequency and voltage. Using informatics platform in the simulation electrical networks. Contact with the practical reality of electrical energy systems.

Teaching Methods

The teaching method is based on theoretical classes and practical classes. An active learning system is focused to stimulate the student to make his own research on the matters presented in the classes.
Development of works by students based on production system, transport or distribution of electrical energy.
Monitoring and Support of Students Available by mail for basic questions or to arrange other accompanying schedule convenient to each student.

Assessment

The grades are within the interval [0,20].
The assessment method consists of the following components:
- T1, T2, Tests;
- TP, Work presented by students in based on electrical power systems.
- EX, Final exam.
The student can choose 1 of 2 possible regimes, in which the Final Grade [NF] is calculated as follows:
i) CONTINUOUS EVALUATION: NF = T1 x 0.30 +T2 x 0.30+ TP × 0.40
If NF> 9.5 ^ TPi> 9.5 ^ T1> 8.0 ^ T2> 8.0 then student APPROVED
ii) FINAL ASSESSMENT: NF = TP × 0.40 +EX x 0,60
Iff NF> 9.5 ^ TP> 9.5 ^ Ex> 9.5 then student APPROVED
