Objectives

Acquisition of skills in: - mathematical formulation, methods and algorithms for power flow and fault analysis. The power flow models include voltage and power control with transformers and FACTS; - basic implementation models for power flow and fault analysis; - preparation of data, use of computer programs, result analysis and technical conclusions on the results of power flow and short-circuits in Power Systems.

Eligibility for exams

Fulfil assiduity rules and develop the two assignments as well as the two intermediate tests of the curricular unit.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final exam (without consultation), 50%.
Distributed Evaluation: 30% for the assignments and 20% for the mini-tests.

Minimum of 40% in the final exam and in the distributed evaluation. 

Examinations or Special Assignments

Work 1: Power Flow Work 2 (the report must be delivered by the 27th March)

Work 2: Fault Analysis (the report must be delivered by the 29th April)

During the classes for the development of the assignments, it will be considered, by a valorisation of 10 %, the participation of the students as well as the regular preparation of the ongoing work according to goals to be periodically defined.

Two mini-tests, each one with a duration not higher than one hour. The mini-tests will be realized daring the theoretical classes. 

 

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Identical to the evaluation procedure established to the ordinary students, except for the compulsory attendance of classes.

Classification improvement

The distributed evaluation related to the assignments cannot be improved. The other components of the evaluation can be improved by exam. 

Observations

The use of calculations TI NSpire (Texas Instrument) range is not allowed. As a general rule, only the use of calculations which meet the folloing requirements are allowed:

- Have no ability to read pdf files or image format (including vector formats);

- Have no ability to comunicate at distance.
