Entry requirements
130 credits, out of 5 credits at Master's level in science/engineering including Scientific Computing I, Electrical Power Engineering, Automatic Control I and one of the following courses: Wind Power - Technology and Systems, Wave Power - Technology and Systems, Hydroelectric Power - Technology and Systems. Hydroelectric Power - Technology and Systems could be taken in parallel. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the course the student shall be able to:
- critically analyse the power system and the grid structure from an overall perspective, including vulnerability,
- perform calculations on connected complex electrical power networks with multiple sources and loads in terms of stability, losses and load flows under stationary conditions
- account for connection of distributed and new renewable sources to the grid,
- perform error analysis for both symmetric and unsymmetric conditions,
- account for different regulatory principles, compensation principles and equipment,
- explain dynamic states and instability in power systems,
- use mathematical models for analysis of dynamic events and stability,
- analyse the impact of various technical solutions for damping network drifts and stabilization.
Content
Dynamic state of electrical power systems. Methods and models for analysis of the dynamics, stability and control of an electric power system. The electricity market. Connection of intermittent (renewable) sources to the grid. Voltage, frequency and small signal stability. Accessibility and vulnerability.
Instruction
Lectures, exercises, guest lectures, laboratory exercises, study visits, seminars, accounting and case studies.
Assessment
Written exam (5 credits). Laboratory exercises (3 credits). Design report in English (2 credits).
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
Other directives
Recommended course Measurement Techniques for Energy Systems. This course cannot be included in the same degree as 1TE213 Electric Circuit Systems.
