The C.U. aims to deepen the student's knowledge in the area of electrical machines and their integration in electromechanical systems, in this case focused on electric three-phase generator sets.
The emphasis will be placed on: a) design and constructive specifics; b) theory and operating characteristics (steady state and transients); c) modelling and test procedures; d) command and operation of three-phase synchronous generators.
This C.U. approval assumes that the student:
1. Deepens nuclear and advanced engineering knowledge (skills CDIO 1.2 and 1.3), develop systemic thought, with particular focus on conception, design, and operation of electric generator sets (skills CDIO 2.3, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.6), which will be promoted throughout all periods (theoretical and practical sessions, including laboratory ones) and will be assessed in final individual examination.
2. Develops efficient work group (skill CDIO 3.1), which is reached along the laboratory sessions, including through the elaboration of the corresponding test reports, and will be assessed by monitoring the student behavior during laboratory works and by the quantitative assessment of the respective group reports.
Chapter 1 - Introduction
Generating function and common requirements-; drive-machines and technological alternatives; main quantities and symbology.
Chapter 2 - Three-phase Synchronous Generators.
1. Fields of application. 2. Working principle. 3. Constructive aspects: the inductor system, constructive and exciter variants; field circuit m.m.f. and e.m.f. production (at no load); the armature system and its windings (main rules for design, classification; winding factors and their effects; armature reaction and induced m.m.f.; hhe air-gap and its effects; structural parts.
4. Theory and sinusoidal steady-state modelling; Blondel (Simplified) and Behn-Eschenburg models; the concept of synchronous reactance (direct and quadrature); Potier and Bondel models; procedures for its application.
5. Steady-state operating characteristics: at no load, short-circuited, with zero power factor; under load; voltage regulation (V-curves), as a function of the load angle.
6. Generating set command: ; a) the generator in parallel with an infinite bus: synchronization process and maneuvers; the P/Q adjustment; oscillations and stability limits; capability curves; b) generators in parallel: pre-requisites; the U/f adjustment and the P/Q distribution; individual and global settings; c) the isolated generator: the U/f/P/Q adjustment; the use of frequency and voltage regulators; technological solutions.
7. Transient behavior: a) the dq model and the corresponding reactances and time constants (physical, meanings, mathematical definitions and typical values); b) three-phase sudden short-circuit (physical analysis and current and torque time evolutions); c) reference to other transient phenomena (fast excitation and voltage recover after a shortcircuit).
Face-to-face work:
a) Theoretical Sessions — Teacher lectures.
b) Laboratory Sessions - development of experimental work by groups of students (as a rule, up to 3 students/group), in the laboratory, supervised by the teacher and by the laboratory technician.
c) Practical Sessions - analysis and resolution of numerical applications by students with teacher supervision.
Independent work: regular study developed by the student during the academic semester and reporting of some of the laboratory activities. Such reports shall constitute knowledge assessment parts. In the independent work, students will have the support of the teacher in the corresponding periods of service.

Final grade = 0.7 Final Examination + 0.3 Frequency grade
1 Final Test: written, individual, with an estimated 2.5 hours duration; consists of a theoretical part (50%) and a numerical one (20%).
2. frequency Grade: Classification resulting from the evaluation in laboratory component, covering the preparation/implementation of 5 laboratory works (15%) and 2 dedicated reports (15%).
Important Notice: all lack a laboratory session, if not retrieved by authorised replacement on a case by case basis, will entail the allocation of ZERO in the relevant work and, if applicable, in the corresponding report.
