Description
In case of the possible appearance of extraordinary situations that imply the suspension of the face-to-face teaching activity and the change to an offline/online scenario, the following changes will be made:

CONTENTS

Programming: theoretical credits

The teaching of the theoretical content of the subject should not be affected by the transfer to non-presential online mode. If the number of hours to be taught is considerably reduced, the contents of each of the subjects in a way that ensures that learning outcomes and competences are achieved.

Programming: practical credits

Where appropriate, in the section on practical contents, the replacement of some laboratory practice will be proposed that can't be moved to the virtual stage.
Faced with an extraordinary situation, the replacement of the laboratory sessions with the following ones is considered:

Practice 1: Introduction to PSIM and basic circuit simulation example
The aim of this practice is to familiarize the student with the PSIM simulation software. This software is characterized by its simplicity, allows to mount a circuit and check its operation in an easy and fast way. At This practice will introduce the student to the use of this software with examples and proposed exercises.

Practice 2: Simulation of direct current circuits This practice aims to make more advanced circuits than the previous practice and to check the operation of these with the PSIM software. In this practice the student will be able to check concepts introduced in the master classes like Ohm's law, Thevenin's theorem, Boucherot's theorem, etc.

Practice 3: Simulation and measurement of AC circuits In this practice, non-resistive passive elements are introduced in the simulations of electrical circuits, such as coils and capacitors.

Practice 4: Simulation of PSIM circuits in AC The student will continue with the analysis of AC circuits with the electrical circuit simulator and will introduce power measurement elements, power factor, etc.

Practice 5: Practice of three-phase systems The student will learn to analyze three-phase AC circuits using the of PSIM circuit simulation, extending the concepts seen in previous practices and emphasizing the differences between three-phase and single-phase systems.

Practice 6: Simulation of single-phase transformer tests
The aim of this practice is to make the student aware of the main characteristics of a single-phase transformer. For This will determine by simulation with the PSIM tool, the parameters that govern its operation, using the performance of so-called open and short-circuit tests. The student must be able to carry out the assembly suitable for the realization of these tests, measuring voltages, currents and powers.
From the results of the simulated measurements the student must be able to interpret the data obtained and also know and quantify the different power losses in an actual transformer. With this data the student must compose the equivalent model of a real transformer.

Practice 7: Simulation of the behaviour of the three-phase asynchronous machine
The aim of this practice is that the student is able to verify the behaviour of a three-phase asynchronous machine, making its simulated connection to the grid, obtaining its current, power and nominal torque, and determining its Torque-speed characteristic. Finally, you will check the operation of the machine in its various modes.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

A new teaching methodology will be incorporated into the existing ones.

Synchronous online meeting (theory or practical session):

These sessions will be given through a web videoconference platform within a virtual classroom. Each virtual classroom will contain various display panels and components, whose design can be customized by the lecturer to adapt it to the needs of the class. In the virtual classroom, any presenter can share the screen or files of your computer, use a whiteboard, chat, stream audio and video or participate in interactive online activities (surveys, questions, etc.).

LEARNING ASSESSMENT

Faced with a change of scenario due to the emergence of extraordinary situations, learning assessment is will remain unchanged with respect to the contents described above in this teaching guide, weightings, minimum requirements, type and number of tests.
The only difference will be in the evaluation format, which in the online modality will take place by combining the FAITIC-Moodle online teaching platform with the Remote Campus of the University of Vigo (and/or similar platforms)
