Irakasgaiaren azalpena eta testuingurua

A key element in the SmartGrids is to provide intelligence to the nodes distributed in the power grid at the lower level, both to the control elements and to the data collection. In this subject the alternatives for the implementation of this type of elements are introduced, revising the current state of the technology and available design tools.

It is about designing specific purpose electronic systems (embedded systems), starting with high level algorithmic descriptions, usually in Matlab, and with important real-time requirements. This requires top-down methodologies, and hardware-software partitioning, and it is imperative to have help tools that maximize the design cycle. In terms of hardware, the available alternatives will be reviewed: microcontrollers, specialized processors (DSPs), programmable devices (FPGAs) and HW description languages. As for the tools will be introduced automatic code generation systems, and simulation.

The subject will have a very practical approach, and during the same the students will use some of these tools to start an example of this type of systems.

Ohiko deialdia: orientazioak eta uko egitea

In the ordinary call, the assessment system will be in the form of continuous assessment. The mark is calculated as follows:



- Deliveries of exercices: 20%

- Final knowledge test: 20%.

- Final project: 60%.

Ezohiko deialdia: orientazioak eta uko egitea

In the case of the extraordinary call, the final mark is calculated based on two parts:



- Theory (40%): Assessed by a knowledge test.

- Practical (60%): This is assessed on the basis of the technical reports corresponding to the final project, which must be submitted before the date of the theory test.



In order to pass the course it is necessary to pass both parts (theoretical and practical).
