The increasing presence of electric drives demands the development of new detection and diagnosis methods of electrical faults. In particular, ground faults are the most common type of faults in electrical systems. Locating these faults is not trivial, as they depend not only on the position, but also on its fault resistance. This paper proposes a new method to detect and locate ground faults in the AC side of an electric drive. The method is based on the ground connection of a high value resistance between the midpoint of the DC bus and ground. By means of the study of the relations between the DC voltage on this resistance and the phase-to-neutral voltages in the AC side of the drive, the location of the fault can be determined. This method has several advantages, as it does not require to know the phase impedance or to estimate an initial ground resistance. The method has been validated by means of computer simulations and in an experimental test bench using a 140-kW power converter obtaining satisfactory results.

Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) are key pieces in most of the industrial processes and thus, a secure operation must be ensured against possible harmful events such as ground faults. Fault location is a complex task that has been aggravated by the increasing presence of power converters. The switching commutations as long with the high frequency leakage currents can cause the malfunction of protection relays. This paper proposes a ground fault location method in the AC drive side of VSDs. The method is mainly based on a grounding resistor connected to the midpoint of the DC bus. Measuring the phase-to-neutral voltages of the AC drive side and the grounding resistor voltage, the method can determine the faulty phase. Moreover, it can estimate the fault position and fault resistance applying phasors equations with the fundamental and the switching frequencies. The method has been validated by means of computer simulations and experimental tests using a 140 kW power converter showing promising results for both fault position and fault severity estimations.

La tutoría, es un recurso didáctico imprescindible en el proceso de aprendizaje. Con ella, el alumnado recibe una atención específica sobre dudas y problemas de comprensión concretos. Sin embargo, la atención personalizada de la duda ocurrida durante el proceso de aprendizaje autónomo fuera de aula se produce con un retraso cuando la tutoría se da de forma presencial. En este proyecto, se presentan los resultados preliminares de la implantación de las vFAQ en titulaciones de Graduado en Ingeniería. Estas consisten en la recopilación sistemática de vídeos que responden a dudas frecuentes, errores más comunes en ejercicios y pruebas de evaluación y descripciones metodológicas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una relación directa entre el empleo de este recurso didáctico y la calificación final obtenida, sugiriendo que los vFAQ pueden ser una herramienta que mejore la participación del alumnado en las actividades de las asignaturas.

En la última década se han desarrollado multitud de metodologías de enseñanza alternativas englobadas en el marco de la innovación educativa, con el objeto de fomentar la motivación de los alumnos, adaptarse a las nuevas tecnologías y mejorar el aprendizaje. En concreto, este estudio se centra en el uso de vídeo-tutoriales en los que se explica parte de la materia de la asignatura, de modo que los estudiantes pueden hacer uso de los vídeos como material de apoyo en un marco metodológico de “aula invertida”. Para evaluar el impacto de los vídeo-tutoriales, los alumnos se sometieron a dos pruebas de cuyos resultados se desprende la utilidad del método en la mejora de la adquisición de los resultados de aprendizaje. Además, se ha realizado una comparativa entre los resultados obtenidos en años anteriores con metodologías tradicionales y en este año con la nueva técnica para obtener una visión global de los resultados de su implementación y cuantificar la mejora en los resultados obtenidos por los alumnos.

Explosion venting is widely used to limit overpressure in confined systems, although its effectiveness depends on complex interactions between combustion, flow, geometry and external conditions. This review examines the phenomenology of vented hydrogen explosions, the main parameters governing their severity, recent experimental and numerical advances, and current design standards. The literature shows that hydrogen concentration, ignition position, vent characteristics, congestion, enclosure geometry and scale affect not only the maximum overpressure, but also the sequence and physical origin of the pressure peaks. Experimental studies highlight the importance of external cloud combustion, flame-acoustic coupling and obstacle-induced turbulence, while CFD models can reproduce overall pressure and flame-propagation trends but remain sensitive to modelling assumptions and validation conditions. Existing standards, particularly EN 14994:2007 and NFPA 68:2023, provide a valuable basis for preliminary design and engineering practice, although additional assessment may be required for highly reactive mixtures, congested layouts and non-standard geometries. Further large-scale testing, benchmark validation and integrated experimental-numerical approaches are needed to improve the reliability of explosion-venting design for hydrogen applications.
