Description and contextualization of the subject

This course intends to analyze the operation and planning of transmission and distribution networks. This way, classical aspects regarding network operation, the different network states and their main features will be analyzed. New stakeholders, procedures and technologies will be studied. These aspects are currently being developed and will affect future network definition and operation. Special stress will be put on Smart Grids.

The main objective of the course is to provide students with the knowledge of the operation of distribution and transmission grids

Learning outcomes of the subject

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:



- Know and understand the network operation principles, as well as how the tools used in the process work.

- Understand the causes and evaluate the impact of large incidents in power systems.

- Solve numerical problems and practical questions related to the network operation, and be able to understand results both qualitatively and quantitatively.

- Organize information and make effective reports about the network operation.

- Communicate effectively issues regarding network operation in various forms: group discussion and expositions.

Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation

Along the course several activities will be developed:

Dynamics, deliverables and projects 100 %



Assessment:

Procedures for assessment of the course are:

1. Through active participation in class.

2. By conducting dynamics, deliverables and projects

Lessons will follow a continous evaluation, for which different dynamics, deliverables and projects will be conducted.

In order to renounce to the continuous evaluation and opt for the final evaluation system, a waiver must be submitted (addressed to the course coordinator) no later than a week before the official ordinary call exam. In case the continuous evaluation is renounced, a final exam that includes 100 % of the course activities must be done.

Extraordinary call: orientations and renunciation

In the extraordinary call students can choose between continuous evaluation (by default) and a single exam that evaluates 100 % of the course activities. The chosen option must be communicated 2 weeks before the exam date.

In order to renounce to the call, a waiver must be submitted (addressed to the master´s academic commission) no later than a week before the official extraordinary call exam.
