This subject provides the students with knowledge about advanced modeling, simulation, and analysis of generation, transmission, and distribution in electrical power systems.

The students must certify that they have passed basic skills and competencies in power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. This can be either accomplished at his/her incoming student profile and CV or, if not covered there, by passing the related subjects of the first and second semesters. To those students who have not passed MCEESP02-C-002 it is not recommended to course this subject . It is nearly impossible to use simulation tools for Electrical Power Systems without adequate theoretical background.

Learning outcomes

RA87 To know the design processes and technologies involved in the design of an electrical power system

R88 Management of different environments for simulation modeling and analysis of an entire power system, taking into account the multidisciplinary nature of the knowledge that it involves.

RA90 Understanding the problem of the transient phenomena in power systems, and application of different techniques for their removal.

1: SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS WITH MATLAB/SIMULINK 

  • Review of Sympower Systems from Mathworks
  • Development of models for the analysis of Electrical Power Systems (Power Flow and Faults)

2: SIMULATION OF POWER SYSTEMS WITH DIGISILENT POWER FACTORY (PF)

  • Introduction to the use of Digisilent (brief course presented during the lectures and available in the virtual campus under different formats)
  • Practical study, based on cases provided by the software, of all type of analyses on different types of Electrical Power Systems.

Note: The number of simulation programs/topics or the programs themselves could differ from those above due to license agreements or other causes.

These are the values for the evaluation of the students:

Evaluation system

Percentage

Written examination 20%

Final project

 50%

Practical exercises

 30%

The student’s final qualification will be obtained as follows:

  • 50% of the student’s mark comes from a final project. This project will consist of the analyses of one or several Electrical Power Systems using both Mathworks Simulink and Digisilent PF. A detailed and thorough written report must be delivered together with the simulation models. The aforementioned report must contain a brief description of the work done, together with an analysis of the results and all the assumptions or simplifications applied during the study.  
  • Another 30% comes from, much shorter and simpler, practical exercises that will be requested during the course. They are mandatory and a minimum score of 50% of the total must be obtained to access the evaluation with the final project. A minimum of 1.5 points (summing the three practices) must be obtained. In order to facilitate the students the organization of their non-presential workload, these practical exercises can be presented at any date during the school term. 
  • The deadline for the presentation for the final project will be the last day of the examination period, as indicated in the official calendar of the University of Oviedo. 
  • Finally, a written test will complete the evaluation process. It will consist of a set of short questions about the topics presented during the lectures. A minimum of 30% of correct answers must be achieved to pass the course. This examination will be done during the examination period or on a more convenient date if there is an agreement between all the students.
  • To pass the course a total of 5 points (50% global) must be obtained. 

Evaluation for the extraordinary call:

Those students who do not fulfill the above requirements will be evaluated in the extraordinary call, during the official period of examination in June. In this case the procedure will be as follows:

Evaluation system

Percentage

Written examination 40%

Practical examination

 40%

Practical exercises

 20%

  • 40% of the score will come from a written examination consisting of a series of questions where different cases will be presented. Answers will need further development with respect to those presented in the tests of the ordinary call. 
  • A practical examination of the use of the simulation will be carried out. Two problems: one to be solved by using Mathworks Simulink and the other by using Digisilent PF. This practical examination is another 40% of the final score. I order to facilitate the students to organize their workload, these practical exercises can be presented at any date during the school term. 
  • The set of short practical exercises described in the ordinary call will also be presented now, together with a short report. Its weight in the final score will be 20%.
  • To pass the course a minimum of 30% of the positive score in the written examination, practical examination, and exercises must be obtained. 

Criteria for differentiated evaluation:

Attendance to theoretical/practical classes will not be mandatory in the case of requesting differentiated evaluation. The student must pass a written exam that will account for a maximum of 5 points of the final grade, a practical exam that will account for a maximum of 5 points of the final grade.  The final grade will be the sum of the two parts.

To pass the course the following requirements must be met: the final grade must be at least 5 points, of which at least a minimum of 2.5 out of 5 must be obtained in each of the parts practical exam and written exam.

Documentation

The whole documentation will be available online. Materials used during the lectures will be uploaded to the Virtual Campus of the University of Oviedo. Particularly, two short courses of Digilent PF and Mathworks Simulink will be included. Different digital formats will be used: Powerpoint presentations used during the lectures and YT online videos. The aim of the latter is to allow the students to review the lectures whenever they need them.
