Teaching Methodologies
The teaching methodologies, that promote active and collaborative learning, follow a temporal sequence
that enables students to acquire theoretical concepts, solve a set of exercises and carry out practical case
studies.
Learning Results
– introduce the concept of Electric Power System and its structure: generation, transmission, distribution and supply.
– provide the basic concepts underlying both the conventional processes of conversion of the different forms of energy in electrical power
and renewable sources.
– present the mathematical concepts, necessary to the modelling of Electric Power Systems, in the steady state.
– introduce the concept of Power Quality in Electric Power Systems: Commercial Quality, Continuity and Quality of the Wave (Sags and
swells, Transient overvoltages, Harmonics, Voltage regulation).
