SEE APP - aplicação de uso pedagógico para disciplinas de subestações de energia elétrica

Abstract

On the university, the student is not only waiting for the knowledge, but for a series of factors that create more dynamic learning opportunities. The relationship between active methodologies and the use of digital technologies takes place through learning platforms, and these enable understanding and interaction between users, contributing to the effective education of the student. Among the disciplines of the Electrical Engineering course, there is Electric Power Substations, which include project development requirements in its curriculum. Given this context, the present course completion work aims to develop a didactic tool that serves as a support to academics of the Electrical Energy Substations discipline. The initial interface has a menu bar containing the necessary items for navigation, such as interacting with bus models and requesting help. For this, exploratory research was carried out in computational tools that already exist on the subject, in addition to bibliographic support on maintenance maneuvers in substation arrangements. Deciding to use the Tkinter package, which comes with the official distribution of the free Python interpreter, being responsible for the graphical user interface. The maneuvers are analyzed through functions created by script in Python. The success of the work was achieved through the construction of the didactic application, which facilitates and provides the understanding of the different equipment that make up a substation, since the pedagogical tools previously used are not well developed to meet the needs of the discipline. The developed application is available for download, for personal and/or academic use of the Electrical Engineering Course at the Federal University of Santa Maria - Campus Cachoeira do Sul, as well as for the general public who are interested in the area and who in some way will contribute in the remote repository, through the web hosting platform GitHub.com, where it provides access control and various collaboration features.
