The Master’s degree:

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:

The first semester is intended to provide a uniform level of knowledge among students with different basic training. This equalization term offers a set of optional courses designed to promote the homogenization among students' knowledge. The teaching committee will study every application form independently, selecting 28 ECTS credits for every student among the optional courses. The additional 2 ECTS are dedicated to a compulsory introductory subject, called “introduction to power systems, renewable energies, electrical traction and energy efficiency”.

The subject:

This subject introduces the basis of control of electromechanical systems, later to be used in the subjects: “Hybrid Control Systems” and “Dynamic control of AC Machines”, which are taught during the second half of the first semester. It will focus on the dynamic analysis of electrical/magnetic/mechanical systems and the design of control systems exploiting the different energy storing and conversion stages needed for the operation of electromechanical systems. It will include the design of common control variables and structures appearing in these systems: current control, flux control, velocity control, position control; integration in the form of cascade control and feedforward strategies.

The subject is included in the first module of the master, called “Equalization”

It is highly recommended to keep the schedule of this course as it appears in the programme guide (verification report). Particularly, the course should be taken before “Hybrid control systems and Digital Signal Processing” and “Dynamic control of AC machines”. 

Basic Competences:

CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity for originality in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context.

CB7 - That students know how to apply acquired knowledge and problem-solving skills in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.

CB8 - That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.

CB9 - That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the ultimate knowledge and reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.

CB10 - That students possess the learning skills that will enable them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.

Learning Outcomes:

RA14: To analyze and model electromechanical systems, from the point of view of the mechanical and electrical systems.

RA15: To design control systems for electrical drives, with the implementation of the most used control loops in these systems.

RA16: To analyze different examples of electromechanical systems, their use in power systems and the particular constraints for the control systems.

RA17: To know the most common actuators used in electromechanical systems, as well as their limitations from a point of view of dynamic control.

This subject has been identified as compulsory in the programme guide (verification report). Learning methodology will be based on Lectures as well as on practical cases at the end of each module. Extensive use of computer aid tools is used for the problem resolution. A final assigment with an open design problem is considered at the end of the course.

For this subject, the students will be evaluated according to these percentages referred to the final grade:

  • Written exam at the end of classes: 40%. A minimum score of 4/10 is needed to pass the subject.
  • Assignment to be presented before the final exam: 40% (25% documentation + 15% presentation). The project will consist on a report 8 pages length and a short presentation (15’). The project could include topics from all the topics include in this guide. A minimum score of 4/10 is needed to pass the subject.
  • Practical cases: 20%. Homework will consist on solving three practical cases on control of electromechanical systems using Matlab.
