1. General information
The objective of the subject is that the student obtains the necessary knowledge that will allow the student to advance in the analysis, calculation and design of power plants and transformer stations.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with some of the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, of the Agenda 2030 ( https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/) and certain specific targets, such that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject provides training and competence to the student to contribute to some extent to the achievement of targets 7.1 and 7.3 of Goal 7, and target 9.4 of Goal 9.
It is desirable that the student has a good knowledge of electrical circuits, electrical engineering, low voltage installations and medium and high voltage electrical installations.
2. Learning results
The student, in order to pass this subject, must demonstrate the following results...
- Know the various energy systems that can be used to obtain electrical energy.
- Understand the processes of electricity generation from traditional energy sources.
- Know how to select and dimension the set of elements that make up the electrical generation system of power plants.
- Know how to select and dimension the different auxiliary systems that are part of the power plants.
- Know the principles of operation of the energy markets.
3. Syllabus
Topics:
1. Introduction
2. Electricity generation market.
3. Operation of the generator park and auxiliary services.
4. Electric power generation systems.
5. Generator. Regulation, control and protection
4. Academic activities
The program includes the following activities...
Theoretical-practical classes (45 hours)
Sessions of exposition and explanation of contents, together with problems and cases of practical application.
Practices (15 horas).
They contain simulations where practical situations are analyzed.
Supervised work (20 hours).
They will consist of problems and case studies.
Assessment tests (3 hours)
They constitute a learning tool that allows to check the degree of understanding and assimilation of knowledge and skills achieved.
Tutoring
Direct attention to the student, identification of learning problems, orientation in the subject, attention to exercises and assignments.
Individual study.
Continuous student work will be encouraged.
5. Assessment system
Global Gradual Assessment:
- Laboratory practices (20% of the grade). Attendance is compulsory; absence from one or more practicals will result in the taking of the practical exam.
- Other evaluable activities (20% of the grade). They may consist of deliverable problems, a written midterm, a practical assignment or other activities.
- Exam Call (60%). It will consist of an evaluable written test, to be taken within the period of exams of the center.
In order to pass this Global Gradual Assessment, it is also necessary to have done all the practical exercises in the laboratory, as well as to obtain a minimum score of 4 points out of 10 in both the exam and the laboratory practices.
Students who do not complete all the assessment tests indicated above (Gradual Global Assessment), will be able to pass the subject by means of the Final Global Assessment.
Final Global Assessment:
- Exam Call (80%). It will consist of an evaluable written test.
- Practical exam (20% of the final grade). There will be a test consisting of an exam in the laboratory related to the practices.
In order to pass the subject, in these two Final Global Assessment tests it is necessary to obtain a minimum score of 4 out of 10 in each one of them.
