An Interactive Educational Tool for the Teaching of Manoeuvres in Electrical Substations

The philosophy of safety at work is one of the bases for the operation of electrical installations, with particular relevance in the manoeuvres in electrical substations. The curriculum for Electrical Engineering students should include such knowledge. This article presents an educational tool currently in use, which has demonstrated its full effectiveness in achieving the implementation of safe working methods in the planning and execution of manoeuvres in electrical substations.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (Spain) ENE2007-63306Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (Spain) ENE2007-66072Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (Spain) ENE2010-1886

It is true that Electricity is a pillar for our present Civilization and Culture. One should also recognize that Electricity is the finest useable form of Energy and therefore the most precious. Deregulation of Electricity Markets aims ultimately to make almost everyone responsible for the way electricity is generated, distributed and used. It aims to let fair market rules result in a Market Operation that will advance this sense of responsibility for everybody. This is particularly important in view of the present delicate state of the Environment which should for Humanity’s sake be preserved, at all costs. And indeed, we are lucky in the sense that the current Information Technologies and Information and Communication Technology will allow us to live up to our responsibilities concerning rational electricity usage as well as the preservation of the environment. However, a strong, wide and lasting commitment is necessary, i.e. political will by every nation, to achieve progress with respect of the environment. ...ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY: THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGES AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF CIGRE / Jean KOWAL, 1 -- SUBSIDIES IN WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY MARKET / Osman SEVAİOĞLU, 8 -- GASEOUS DIELECTRICS IN POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION / Loucas G.

Sistemas de terra e protecção contra descargas atmosféricas

Dissertação de Mestrado em Engenharia Electrotécnica e de ComputadoresNos dias de hoje, é amplamente reconhecida a importância da ligação à terra de equipamentos ou sistemas, na protecção de bens e de vidas humanas, devendo a mesma ser efectuada de forma criteriosa e devidamente ponderada. Pelo facto de os sistemas de protecção terminarem no solo, estes devem contribuir para que o escoamento das correntes de defeito para o solo se faça da forma mais breve e directa possível, sem que exista perigo para as pessoas, animais e para a própria instalação em que o sistema esteja inserido. No dimensionamento de um projecto de terras e dos sistemas de protecção a ele associados, é necessário ter sempre em linha de conta os critérios de segurança regulamentares e os factores físicos com influência no seu desempenho, como seja o comportamento dos eléctrodos em diferentes situações ambientais e de índole construtiva. Este trabalho visou, essencialmente, a caracterização do comportamento apresentado pelos eléctrodos de terra de diferentes geometrias e tipologias de implementação, bem como o dimensionamento de sistemas de protecção contra descargas atmosféricas, através do desenvolvimento de uma aplicação que permite efectuar simulações em interface gráfico, recorrendo ao programa informático MATLAB® da MathWorks®

Social work with airports passengers

Social work at the airport is in to offer to passengers social services. The main methodological position is that people are under stress, which characterized by a particular set of characteristics in appearance and behavior. In such circumstances passenger attracts in his actions some attention. Only person whom he trusts can help him with the documents or psychologically
