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 first semester:
This subject belongs to the first semester (equalization module), which is intended to provide a uniform level of knowledge among students with different basic training. This is one of the compulsory subjects of the equalization module.
The subject:
This subject provides the students with skills related to the technical knowledge of electrical power systems and the operation of the transmission and distribution subsystems. In this course the student will learn about the elements involved in an electrical transmission system and the role that each element plays within the system. This issue involves the analysis of power systems, performing network calculations and analysing symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. The new paradigm under which transmission networks are operated, based on open and non-discriminatory access, and the resulting challenges are presented and discussed in this subject. Also, voltage and frequency control concepts are presented and discussed. The laboratory will be of a problem solving nature and will involve the solution of network problems using computer simulation and analysis software. This subject provides the students with a wide overview of how power systems work, how they are operated and how they must be designed and protected. It constitutes a basis to study subjects in the second term like “Distributed generation systems and power quality” and “Analysis and simulation of electric power systems”. It is also strongly related with all subjects in the Technical-Economic-Management track and several subjects in Scientific-Technical-Research track like “Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and HVDC” and “Microgrid and Smart Grids”.
There are no special requirements applied to this subject because it belongs to the first term. However the students should handle concepts like phasor analysis, single and three phase A.C. circuit analysis and real and reactive power.

As it can be observed in the next table, the hours assigned to this course are divided in “classwork” and “homework”. The “classwork” hours are divided in lectures, seminars, laboratory, group tutoring, and evaluation sessions. Professor will use them 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.
