Objectives

To enable the students approach optimization and decision problems and apply computacional intelligence techniques to electric power systems

Learning outcomes and competences

As a result of learning, the students should manifest that followin competences:

Problem formulation in the framework of multiple criteria decision analysis. Application of decision aid methodologies. (CDIO 1.3, 2.3) Representation of uncertainties with fuzzy sets. Application of methods based on fuzzy reasoning. (CDIO 1.3, 2.1, 2.3, 4.3, 4.4) Application of methods based on non-linear optimization. Understanding of the fundamentals of meta-heuristics and application to solve problems. (CDIO 1.3, 2.1, 2.3, 4.3, 4.4) Understanding the concepts of neural computing and apply them to a diversity of problems. (CDIO 1.3, 2.1, 2.3, 4.3, 4.4) Development of autonomous work ability (CDIO 2.5) and of team work ability (CDIO 3.1, 3.2, 3.3)

Eligibility for exams

Delivery of all assignment works with a minimum of 8/20.

Calculation formula of final grade

Written exam (no help material) 50% Set of assignments 50% Approval in the course is conditioned to a minimum mark of 8/20 in both components.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Assignments to be delivered in the dates determined by the lecturers. These works, to be developed during classes and during the time of autonomous work, are valid for the course and their classification will remain fixed, no re-doing allowed.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

By exam plus assignments. The classification of the assignments (not re-doable) will be composed with the exam following the rule above. Assignment reports must be delivered up to the same deadlines fixed for other students. In the special cases defined by NGA, an additional laboratory exam will be required.

Classification improvement

A second opportunity for the exam is available. Distributed evaluation cannot by its nature be improved.
