2. Pre-Requisites
To fulfill the learning objectives of this course, students should have the following knowledge and skills:
- Knowledge of the basic concepts of numerical calculus and its application to engineering topics.
- Knowledge of computer programming techniques and usage of software with application to engineering topics.
- Knowledge of fundamental concepts on electric energy systems: electric power generation, transmission, sub-transmission, and distribution networks, as well as types of electrical lines and conductors.
- Knowledge of control systems.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Facilities related to the production, transmission, distribution, and consumption of electric energy conform what are call Electric Energy Systems also known as Power Systems. Electric energy is currently the main energy vector connecting primary energies to end-use energies. Therefore, the knowledge of the configuration, operation, and management of power systems must be a part of the academic training of every graduate in Mining and Energy Engineering specializing in Energy and Fuels.
Along with the courses on Energy Engineering and Renewable Energies Engineering, this course completes the academic training on Energy Technology offered in this degree.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 0.00% | 50.00% | Understanding of concepts and procedures will be assessed by means of writing tests. |
| Mid-term tests | 50.00% | 0.00% | Understanding of concepts and procedures will be assessed by means of writing tests. |
| Projects | 50.00% | 50.00% | The report that the student must deliver with the solution of the practical cases proposed during the course will be valued. The students who follow the continuous evaluation will have to deliver the report on a date agreed during the course. Students who do not follow the continuous evaluation will have the deadline for the delivery of this report on the day of the regular exam. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The grade of each assessment activity will consist of a numerical value between 0 and 10. In order to pass the course in this call, the student must obtain a final score equal or higher than 5.0. The determination of the final score will be made according to the following calculation system:
- Grade obtained in the mid-term test. This grade must be higher or equal to 4.0 and will represent 50% of the final score of the course. If this grade is lower than 4.0, the student will be able to remake this test by means of a writting test that will take place the day assigned to the special exam of the course.
- Grade obtained in the report submitted with the solution of the practical cases. This grade must be higher or equal to 4.0 and will represent 50% of the final score of the course. If this grade is lower than 4.0, the student will be able to make a new delivery on the day of the regular and/or special exam of the course. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The grade of each assessment activity will consist of a numerical value between 0 and 10. In order to pass the course in this call, the student must obtain a final score equal or higher than 5.0. The determination of the final score will be made according to the following calculation system:
- Grade obtained in the final test. This grade must be higher or equal to 4.0 and will represent 50% of the final score of the course. If this grade is lower than 4.0, the student will be able to remake this final test by means of a writting test that will take place the day assigned to the special exam of the course.
- Grade obtained in the report submitted with the solution of the practical cases. This grade must be higher or equal to 4.0 and will represent 50% of the final score of the course. If this grade is lower than 4.0, the student will be able to make a new delivery on the day of the special exam of the course.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
