Development and Validation of a Learning Object for Teaching Transmission Line Modeling Using Quadripoles

Abstract

This article presents the development and validation of a tool that helps in the understanding of the quadripole theory applied to electrical energy transmission calculations. A workbook was prepared in Microsoft Excel with several spreadsheets capable of solving calculations related to quadripoles applied to the transmission of electrical energy, to help electrical engineering students to consolidate the acquired knowledge. The use of computational tools and spreadsheets is an important tool considering the increase in remote teaching, including encouraging students to develop their own solutions, since the formulas are open and the spreadsheet is a common and familiar resource. The methodology consisted of gathering theories related to quadripoles and, together with knowledge of Microsoft Excel, creating a computational tool. Exercises present in books used in electric power transmission courses were used to validate the functioning of the developed work, whose results were satisfactory in the solution of 3 exercises.
