Guía docente

The Master’s course:

The main goal of the Master’s Degree in “Electrical Energy Conversion and Power Systems” (EECPS Master) is the training of qualified staff in areas related to electrical energy management, emphasizing in power systems for renewable energies. The Master presents a double approach: scientific and professional. In the scientific thread, training focuses on the design of two main applications: Electrical Power Systems and Electrical and Hybrid Traction Systems. On the other hand, in the professional thread, training is focused on the management of electrical energy. Thus, the subjects of this thread have been designed attending to two main issues, such as the management of energy in large consumers and the generation and transmission of electrical energy in a liberalized market. Three main lines have been considered as keystones in the Master:

·       Electrical Power Systems

·       Electrical and Hybrid Vehicles

·       Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies

The third semester:

This subject belongs to the third semester (specialization stage). The third term has been designed according to two possible tracks: professional and research. This subject is common for both tracks. 

The subject: 

In this subject, different techniques for creating a flexible AC power systems, and High Voltage DC links between AC points are studied. The different electrical variables that control the power flow in a power systems are analyzed. The effects of including FACTS and HVDC transmission systems over the whole power system will be investigated.

It is a subject of the specialization stage; the student should handle the concepts expressed in the common stage of  the program.

Basic Competences:

·       Be original in the development and application of ideas, within a research environment. (CB6)

·       Solution of problem in new and unfamiliar multidisciplinary environments, related to its knowledge area. (CB7)

·       Integration of knowledge, facing the complexity of issuing judgments and sentences parting from some information that includes ethic and social liability constraints. (CB8)

·       Ability of communicating justified decisions and conclusions, to specialized and unspecialized listeners. (CB9)

·       Ability of autonomous learning. (CB10)

Generic Competences:

·       Knowledge of the principal mathematic tools used in the analysis, modelling and simulation of power systems. (CG3)

·       Abilityto manage information: search, analysis and synthesis of the specific technical information. (CG10)

·       Abilityto assimilate and communicate information in English concerning technical (CG11)

·       Abilityto planand organizework (CG12)

·       Skills for critical reasoning, making decisions and making judgments based on information that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities of professional activity (CG13)

·       Concern forquality and achievement motivation (CG14)

Specific Competences:

·       Identification of the main characteristics, design strategies and the constructive elements and materials of the Electrical Power Systems (CE6)

·       Ability to analyse the different strategies for grid connection, for both technical and economic points of view. (CE16)

 Learning Outcomes:

·       RA133 To understand the concept of flexible AC transmission. (RA133)

·       To know the consequences of the inclusion of FACTS systems in existing power grids. (RA134)

·       To know the different existing FACTS devices and their operation.  (RA135)

·       To understand and develop strategies for coordination among different devices within the network.  (RA136)

·       To know and understand the operation of transmission systems (HVDC).  (RA137)

Topic 1: Control of Power flow in a transmission system

o   Influence of the electric variables in the power flow

o   General description of AC transmission system controllers

§  Shunt connected controllers

§  Series connected controllers

§  Hybrid connected controllers

o   Introduction to HVDC

Topic 2: Power flow analysis in networks with FACTS and HVDC devices

o   Steady state models of multifunctional single converters FACTS

o   Steady state models of multi-converter FACTS

o   Steady state models of HVDC systems

As it can be observed in the next table, the numbers of hours assigned to this course are divided in “In-class work” and “homework”. Among the “in-class work” hours are divided in lectures, seminars, laboratory, group tutoring and evaluation sessions. Professor will use to expound the theoretical basis of the subject. However, active learning methods such as “class discussions”, “think-pare-share”, “short written exercises“ or ”student debates” will be applied in order to keep an active attitude.  Concepts stated in lectures must be applied to solve different types of problems or developing computer projects in seminars or computer lab respectively.  The group tutoring sessions will be used to discuss about the theoretical concepts explained in lectures or their application seminars or computer lab.

Evaluation for the ordinary and extraordinary calls:

Final exam (40%). The final exam will be comprehensive covering all topics discussed in class. Taking the final exam is mandatory and a minimum score of 4/10 must be achieved. 

Homework assignments (60%). 2 Homeworks will be assigned in the first part of the course. Students are encouraged to work in groups on their homework, but should submit separate write-ups (identical assignments will get a zero score). Students must submit their homework electronically; it should be submitted as a single ?le to professors using the virtual campus. Other forms will not be accepted.

Late homework or computer projects will not be accepted. 

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.
