Batteries in electrical systems provide new possibilities for balancing and operating the electrical system, and can be seen as a new component in the electrical system. This course aims to provide an understanding of these possibilities, as well as to provide knowledge about mathematical methods in order to model and analyze the impact on the electrical system.

Examination and completion
Grading scale
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examination
- INLA - Assignment, 1.0 credits, Grading scale: P, F
- LABA - Laboratory work, 1.0 credits, Grading scale: P, F
- TENA - Written exam, 4.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
