Sistemas Elétricos e Qualidade de Serviço

Linear Algebra, Calculus, Electrical Circuit Theory

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.

– 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).

– Characteristics of the Portuguese electrical energy system.
– Electric energy sources (thermal and hydric power plants, renewable energy)
– Electric Power Demand.
– Power diagram.
– The three-phase system.
– Power Transportation and Distribution.
– Calculate the electric parameters of lines, set the PI model
– Per unit system.
– Power Flow Computations in Electric Power Systems.
– General aspects regarding Quality of Service:
– Quality of the Wave;
– Continuity
– Commercial Quality;
– Legislation and Recommendations;
– Analysis of Case Studies.
