Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
• Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.
• Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to address a complex problem in the field of electrical engineering as an essential source of energy in modern society by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling and experimentation, design one or more systems/solutions/software addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, with a focus on electrical power engineering, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the basics of electricity, electronics, automatic control, signal processing and analysis, telecommunications, electrotechnical engineering (electrical machines, power electronics), engineering of electricity grids (generation, transmission and distribution), the development of renewable energy sources (wind, photovoltaic), the development, implementation and environmentally-friendly use of electrical systems, and specific techniques for the numerical modelling of power devices.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Respect deadlines and timescales

Content of UE

AA1 Synchronous Machines in steady-state : Synchronous machines; constant airgap and saillant pole SM ; Analytical study; phasor diagram; Normalized practical tests and characteristics, Potier coefficient; regulation curves ; compensators; Stability; Oscillations; damping; parallel-network running; synchronous and dispersion reactances (FPMs method); Load angle; active power, torque... AA2 Transients of synchronous machines : To apply the (Park) theory in order to put into equations, without time dependance in the inductive coefficients, the transient behaviour of an electrical machine ; To deduce equivalent schemes in order to simulate the transient operation in the case of a synchronous machine ; To identify the internal parameters used in those equivalent schemes and understand the necessity of defining measurable intermediates (external parameters) in order to access the values of the internal parameters ; To apply a particular test in order to calculate a great number of external parameters : sudden 3-phase short-circuit at the terminal of a synchronous generator initially unloaded (theoretical study of the evolution of stator and rotor currents under several hypotheses + practical development of external parameters' identification method based on experimentally measured currents).
