Description and contextualization of the subject

Power systems are large and complex electrical networks. In any power system, generations are located at few selected points and loads are distributed throughout the network. In between generations and loads, there exist transmission and distribution systems. In the power system, the system load keeps changing from time to time as shown by the daily demand curve.

Properly designed power system should have the following characteristics: It must supply power, practically everywhere the customer demands. It must supply power to the customers at all times. It must be able to supply the ever changing load demand at all time. The power supplied should be of good quality. The power supplied should be economical. It must satisfy necessary safety requirements. It must cause minimum environmental impact.

To meet these characteristics, the electrical system must be adequately operated and controlled. So, the main goal of the system operator is to maintain the system in a normal secure state as the operating conditions vary during the daily operation. Además, a power system control is required to maintain a continuous balance between power generation and load demand. Load Frequency Controller and Automatic Voltage Regulator play an important role in maintaining constant frequency and voltage in order to ensure the reliability of electric power.

With the implementation of new technologies and the installation of distributed generation, electrical systems are evolving to SmartGrids. But this evolution must be done while the network continues to function and meets with all the characteristics.

This course establishes the foundations for the operation and control of the conventional electrical system, its most important concepts and critical factors, to understand how intelligent systems should be operated and GD systems controlled.



In the event that the sanitary conditions prevent the realization of a teaching activity and / or face-to-face evaluation, a non-face-to-face modality will be activated of which the students will be informed promptly

Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation

The evaluation modalities that are taken into account of the subject are:

- class attendance,

- conducting simulation practices in pairs/groups,

- writing individual reports

- taking a final exam.

The percentage value assigned to each evaluation instrument is as follows

- Attendance 10%

- Laboratory reports 30%

- Final Exam 60% (20% Theoretical questions, 40% Problems)

To carry out the corresponding weightings of the various evaluable sections it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4/10 in each type of independently evaluated activity: Attendance, Reports, Theory and Exam Problems.

To pass the course it is required that the final grade is equal to or greater than 5.

Extraordinary call: orientations and renunciation

The evaluation modalities that are taken into account of the subject are:

- class attendance,

- conducting simulation practices in pairs/groups,

- writing individual reports

- taking a final exam.

The percentage value assigned to each evaluation instrument is as follows

- Attendance 10%

- Laboratory reports 30%

- Final Exam 60% (20% Theoretical questions, 40% Problems)

To carry out the corresponding weightings of the various evaluable sections it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4/10 in each type of independently evaluated activity: Attendance, Reports, Theory and Exam Problems.

The relative weight of each activity will be applied in both the ordinary and the extraordinary examination.

The notes of Attendance and Report Writing will be maintained in the the ordinary and the extraordinary examination.

The exam notes will be those of each call.

To pass the course it is required that the final grade is equal to or greater than 5
