Abstract
The study of electric power systems within the field of Electrical Engineering is usually approached by computer simulation because any actual test is quite complex to be implemented, especially with renewable energies. Having the aim to improve student learning about this topic, a new subject called “Devising an Electric Power System” was organized following a CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) approach. The subject is programmed for one academic year and based entirely on laboratory work. The students are divided into three teams. Every team would have to work on a power system that includes a solar PV generator and a pumping controlled drive, both connected to a three-phase grid. The third and last part of the subject is focused on “electric utility” business strategy. In the final day of the course a competition between the three teams takes place.
