Do you want to deepen your understanding of the electric power system and its crucial role in a sustainable energy landscape? Then our "Introduction to Sustainable Electric Power Systems" course is the perfect choice for you!
In this 3.0 credit course, you will explore the basic concepts of electric power systems and their integration into a sustainable energy system. Please note that the course content of EG111V and EG110V is identical, with the latter also including two laboratory sessions.

The course is divided into four parts as follows:
After passing the course, the student shall be able to
The course comprises of: 10 lectures, 6 exercise sessions, one experimental laboratory exercise (4 h).
The schedule is available online from TimeEdit Kungliga Tekniska högskolan . If any changes in the schedule must be made the online version would be the accurate version.
All lectures and exercises are possible to attend digital. The links will be sent out ahead of the lectures.
The electric power system is a complex technical system with main function to deliver electricity between generation, consumption and storage. A sustainable energy system involves key components of; increasing use of renewable energy resources, increased energy efficiency and use of electricity in the transportation sector. As an effect of this some key questions for the electric power system are; integration of intermittent electricity generation e.g. from wind power, and connections of electrical vehicles to the electrical distribution system and different solutions for energy storage.
The course will give a conceptual introduction to the electric power system as a main part of the energy system. The course will start from fundamental basic concepts of the physics of electricity, basic circuit analysis. It will go through fundamental modeling of the alternating current (AC) system, the power flow, show on models for power system operation and planning including aspects of reliability and market, and design of renewable energy systems. For an understanding of the dynamic behavior of the electric power system the simulator tools will be used.
The course is offered in two versions. Both courses (EG111V and EG113V) includes the same introduction lectures to the electric power systems. The extended course (EG113V) also includes computer based laboratory exercises.
The course content is divided into five parts as follows:
There are one computer lab in the course EG113V. The computer lab deals with simulation of the electric power system and the handling of stability. The simulator tool PowerWorld will be used.
The course is given in English and all course material including the examination is in English.
A few distinguished guest lectures from industry have been invited. They will provide examples of actual power system developments and connect the course theory to practice.
