Facilities

The Masters Degree in Energy and Power Electronics is offered in the Campus of the Faculty of Engineering of Mondragon Unibertsitatea. 

Mondragón Campus

You can study the Masters Degree in Energy and Power Electronics in Arrasate-Mondragón where our installations are distributed between 3 buildings that are very close to one another. At the Iturripe centre, as well as the installations necessary for your training (classrooms, library, laboratories, workshops…) you will find the sports facilities, cafe and several multi-purpose rooms. In addition, very nearby, we have the Uribarri Centre and the Garaia Centre, located in the Innovation Area with the same name, which is equipped with cutting-edge laboratories in which you will do some of your work placements.

 

 

Laboratories and Experimental Spaces

Students of the Masters degree in energy and power electronics develop their professional skills in the Educational Centre of the following laboratories, workshops and experimental spaces, which include the equipment listed below:

 

PBL LABORATORY (10110)

 Equipment:

• Tables, chairs, projector and blackboard.
• Three-phase power outlet.
• Equipped with power supplies, oscilloscopes and various material for the PBL stage.
• Mainly used to develop second semester PBL and rotational practicals.

Used for: PBL and rotational practicals.

 

Wind Tunnel Laboratory 

 Equipment:

• A wind tunnel is available for the experimental characterisation of wind turbines on a small scale.
• The wind tunnel allows an approximate programmable wind speed of between 0 and 100 km/h, over a circular surface area of 1.5 m in diameter. For this purpose an integrated  30kW variable frequency drive is used.
• Wind turbines with different topologies.
• Electronic converters for power conversion.
• dSPACE platforms for wind turbine control.

Used by: fist year students in the second semester of PBL.

 

Electric Vehicle Laboratory 

 Equipment:

• A car winch.
• Two reconfigurable Reva electric vehicles, suitable as validation platforms for new electrical developments.
• Reconfigurable Ford hybrid vehicle, suitable as a validation platform for new electrical developments.
• Two National Instruments PXI data acquisition systems.

Used by: TFM students and first year, second semester PBL students (the experimental platform is under development).

 

Low Voltage Laboratory

Equipment:

• Multilevel converter experimental platforms: 3, 4 and 5 levels.
• Engine test bench experimental platforms: Dual fed machines with stator and rotor, linear machines, synchronous and asynchronous machines with different powers, voltages and mechanical characteristics.
• Measurement and monitoring equipment: thermographic camera, power supplies, isolators, power amplifiers, etc.

Used by: sometimes by first year students in first semester PBL and, above all, by TFM students.

 

Energy Storage Laboratory

 Equipment:

• Programmable DC Power supply (2.4kW).
• Programmable DC load (2.6kW).
• Battery testing system.
• 1kW AC/DC converter.
• Galvanic isolation meter.
• Test ovens.

Used by: TFM students.

 

Magnetic Elements Characterisation Laboratory 

 Equipment:

• The characterisation of hard materials (permanent magnets). MagnetPhysics Permagraph.
• The characterisation of soft materials  (magnetic plates and other magnetic conductors). MagnetPhysics Hysterisgraph.
• A hard material M-Pulse Magnetizer 2k4sd (Energy=4000Ws, max. Current 30kA).

Used by: TFM students.

 

Medium Voltage Laboratory 

Equipment:

• 2 input transformers: 30kV/2x690V, 50Hz, 2MVA.
• Voltage configuration box:
  • AC voltages: From 400V AC to 4780V AC 4MVA
  • DC voltages (with diode rectifiers): From 565V DC to 6452V DC. 4MVA
• Seismic mass to isolate high voltage electrical machine vibrations.

Used by: TFM students.

 

Energy Laboratory

Equipment:

• Tables, chairs, projector and blackboard.
• Three-phase power outlet.
• Equipped with power supplies, oscilloscopes and various material for the PBL stage.
• Future installation of DC micro grid connected to photovoltaic panels installed on the roof of the building with batteries in the garage.

Used by: PBL development.

Live University life

At the University of Mondragon in general, and on the different campuses of the Higher Polytechnic School, life is lived among the latest sports, culture and entertainment facilities. The university is also very involved with the community and students organise a growing number of activities aimed at society as a whole: trade fairs, magazine, contests, Literature Week, etc.

We also organise PBL Day every year, a day when all the projects developed during the academic year are exhibited and the best one wins a prize of €1000. And you will be able to take part in the NiZuGu Mugituz conference at which we find ways to train you in sustainable development, equality and values.

All these activities also form an integral part of the educational programme and their purpose is to improve quality of life for our students. At Mondragon Unibertsitatea you also learn how to live.

PSYCHOLOGICAL CARE SERVICE

It is a service that provides psychological care, with a preventive nature and whose purpose is to ensure the bio-psycho-social well-being of the students.

It is aimed at all MGEP students and is attended by personnel certified in psychology and psychotherapy.

It offers individual psychological care (5+5 sessions) and workshops and experiences aimed at healthy development.

The service is free of charge.
