This research includes a work methodology adapted to the requirements
of a real technical engineering project. It is included in the subject of power
lines and substations of the bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering of the University
of León in order to bring the student closer to the real practice of overhead
medium and high-power line projects. The methodology applied in the activity
promotes the use of different free access spatial tools that allow the student to approach
in a systematic and reliable way the preliminary design that will condition
the final layout of the power line and the technical and economic feasibility of
the project. Beyond these geospatial location tools, the methodology includes the
handling of the electrical calculation software dmELECT with which the student
will be able to familiarize himself and increase his skills in the specific field. The
contribution is clearly expected to help the students to contextualize the theoretical
knowledge, so better understand the challenges they will face in their career as
future professionals.
