SUEL: ferramenta didática de subestações elétricas.

Abstract

The Electrotechnical emphasis, of the undergraduate course of Electrical Engineering at the Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, provides the Equipamentos Elétricos subject, which has theoretical and experimental parts. During the discipline the electrical substations characteristics and their components are studied and in addition, field trips are taken. The development of a power substation project is a purpose of the subject. Despite these resources, it is noticed the difficulty in understanding the actual layout of the equipment in each arrangement type, as well as the way they must be operated to perform maneuvers. Thus, a computational helping tool that provides a way for students to absorb the knowledge in a graphical and interactive manner is of great help. In this way, the paper proposes a didactic tool, called SUEL. For the program making, it was made use of the development platform Adobe Animate CC 2015.The program brings the representation of different arrangements of electrical substations, providing the student with information about the equipment that compose the substation, their physical arrangements and the option to perform maneuvers in the power plant.
