The course aims to develop students’ interest in and knowledge and understanding of tools and methods for system stability, control and power system circuit interruption and switching over-voltages. The course addresses in depth stability and switching over-voltages.
Learning Outcomes:
Students will develop knowledge and understanding of:
- fundamental concepts, principles and mathematical theories used for stability problems
- fundamental concepts for the study of switching overvoltages.
They will acquire intellectual and practical skills to:
- develop appropriate models of scenario to study the stability problem
- develop appropriate models to study switching overvoltages.
(Skills CDIO- Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating-1.2,1.4,2.3,2.5,3.2,3.3,4.2,4.3,4.4 e 4.6)

Compliance with the rules of attendance in force.
Achievement of the assignment, with a minimum of 40%.
The assignment must be finished by the 23 of november.
Mini exame with a numerical problem of Stability on the 8th week of the term.
The evaluation will consist of two components:
1) Perform a work (TP) on a stability problem, to be solved using MatLab, Visual Basic or Excel, from which a report and a program must be delivered in digital format, until 8th December (4 values).
2) Final exam (EF) with a theoretical part (11,5 values) and a practical part (1,5 values).
EF Final Exam - 13 values
Distributed evaluation work TP - 4 values.
Mini exam - 3 values
Minimum of 40% in the exam and in the laboratory work
The EF component allows to evaluate the CDIO competences - 1.3.2.1, 2.3.3.3 and 4.3
The TP component allows to evaluate the CDIO - 2.3 and 4.3 competencies.
During the realization of the practical part of the examination is not allowed to use calculators range of TI-Nspire (Texas Instruments). As a general rule, it is only allowed to use calculators which meet the following requirements:
- Have no ability to read pdf files or image format (including vector formats)
- Does not have the capacity of distance communication.
All the students must complete the assignments.
A second opportunity for the exam is available.
Distributed evaluation by its nature cannot be improved.
Students with frequency from previous years and that have performed the computational work may apply to the professor that the previous work be considered.
