POWERCAS - Sistema de software para o apoio a resolução de problemas de Engenharia de Potência.

Abstract

There are two fields, that rapidly advances, which are software development and the energy sector, these areas require continuous research and development, because speaking of energy, the economic development of a country is directly connected to the energy consumption of the country, which means that the electric system has to be prepared to the continuous advances. In the software development area, the behavior is quite similar, because the world today, is becoming more and more dependent on the computational programs and tools that can manage and control in a mechanic and continuous manner, assisting human beings, in any sorts of tasks, present in hospitals, companies, industries and it would not be any different in the energy sector. These two fields, are connected, because as mentioned, softwares can provide an assistance that is very important to human beings, so that humans can manage and control the electric system, or study and make simulations or calculate parameters in order to design the system and resolve important problems to the electric system that without computers it would be a highly demanding and unnecessary task having the current technology in hands. This project, aims to develop a software that has the objective to assist engineers and electrical engineering students in the study, simulations and in the solutions of some of the important problems in the field of power engineering.
