Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching in this Curricular Unit is divided into theoretical and theoretical-practical sessions. The theoretical component introduces new concepts through lectures covering the core topics of the subject. The theoretical-practical sessions focus on reinforcing these concepts and, more importantly, on the development and application of specific computational tools to analyze the impact of integrating distributed generation and electric vehicles into distribution networks. Additionally, a visit to a Smart Electrical Grids and Electric Vehicles Laboratory is planned.
