EG112V Introduction and Analysis of Sustainable electric Power Systems 6.0 credits

Administer About course

The overall aim of this course is to provide a conceptual understanding of the fundamentals of the electric power system as a component of a sustainable energy system. Please note that the content of the course EG111V Introduction to sustainable electric power systems, 3 credits is identical to EG112V Introduction and analysis of sustainable electric power systems 6 credits, the only difference is that the larger course EG112V also has a laboratory course component. This means e.g. that both courses cannot be included in one and the same degree.

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course is divided into four parts as follows:

  • Electric power systems as a part of a sustainable energy system.
  • Basic modelling and analysis of the electric power systems: from physics of electricity, basic circuit analysis to modelling of AC systems to power flow assessment.
  • Studies of the performance of the power system with for example analysis of integration of local electricity production and effect of the electricity market.
  • Simulation of electric power system and handling of stability. Simulator tool PowerWorld.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student should be able to

  • describe conceptually the technical basic properties and the performance of the electric power system with main function to deliver electricity between production, consumption and storing
  • carry out basic modelling and analysis of electric circuits
  • describe the basics of synchronous generators
  • describe the basics of the three phase transmission system
  • carry out calculations per unit in the electric power system
  • describe the basic impact of different power loads on the electric power system
  • formulate and solve current flow analysis problem
  • describe the basic behaviour of the the electric power system based on simulation tools
  • discuss and give examples of how an electric power system can be developed to contribute to a sustainable society.
