Learning Outcomes

Develop student?s skills for the operation of Electrical Power Systems (EPS). Some questions concerning the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. In the use of electricity, is given particular relevance to the operation of electrical machines and electromechanical energy conversion. In this course students must acquire specific skills in analysis of electrical circuits in power factor correction in industrial facilities, deal well with systems "Per unit", Understand well the electromechanical energy conversion and realize the good functioning of the electrical transformer.

Specific objectives:

O1 - Analysis in Engineering
- Learn to identify problems, analyze possible solutions and select the most appropriate method for the correct implementation.

O2 ? Investigation
- Ability to interpret experimental data and bibliography, and adjust the models designed by keeping a physical interpretation.

O3 - Practice in Engineering
Apply different tools that have a realistic application and integrating the activities of Engineering.
