Reviews of draft reports

Unfortunately it has taken longer time than planned to compile the reviews of the draft reports, but now I have distributed the reviews and added some comments.

Please notice that the deadline for submission of your final report and the answers to the reviewers have been extended to 23 January 2017.

Finally, it is important that the mathematical model is described in such a way that it is possible for the reader to follow exactly how the output values are computed for a set of input values. If the necessary computation steps are not described in the final paper then the report is likely to receive the rating "Insufficient".

Preparation for the critical review lecture

As preparation for the critical review lecture, you are recommended to read the draft paper "Monte Carlo Simulation of Simple Two-area Power Systems" which you can find under the heading "Literature" in the menu to the left.

Individual simulation problems

The individual simulation problems have now been sent out.

Please notice that the instructions for the project assignment (which you find on the course web page under the heading "Examination") have been updated in order to give you more precise instructions what you should do. The main changes are in the section "Study of efficient simulation methods" on p. 9.

Good luck!

Lecture notes update

The slides for lectures 3-6 have been updated:

• Example: Correlated sampling of Akabuga District has been added to lecture 5.
• Example: Stratified sampling of Akabuga District now includes a table of the strata.
• The simulation times in examples of Akabuga District has been updated to reflect computation times with more efficient Matlab programming.

Compendium update

The derivation of how to rewrite theorem 4.3 (slide 24 in the lecture on simple sampling) was included in the compendium but for the biased estimate using the denominator n. I have now rewritten pp. 28-31 in the compendium so that the formula for the denominator n - 1 is explained.

This update also includes a correction to example 2.5, where an observant student has pointed out a computation error.

Registration for the exam

The student office has sent out a notification that the system to register for exams has now been opened for all exams in October. The system closes for each exam 16 days prior to the date of the exam.

Students with term registration and course registration are automatically sent a message that they are eligible to register for an exam. 

Please remember that registration for exams is compulsory at KTH.  A student who has not registered for an exam will not be guaranteed a seat for that exam. The student office does not accept late registrations.

Project assignment and compendium

The problems for the project assignment can now be found under the heading "Examination" in the menu to the left. On the same page you can also find the formulae sheet and old exams.

The latest draft of the compendium is now available as a pdf file.

Course start

The next round of the course starts Wednesday 31 August 8:15 in the seminar room (A:426) at Osquldas väg 6, 4th floor. The seminar room is located inside the Dept. of Electric Power and Energy Systems and the entrance doors are locked. I will open the doors to let students in right before the start of the lecture; hence, please do not arrive late.

Project assignment

The deadline for the final report and the response to the reviewers has been postponed one week, i.e., untill 18 January, 8:00.
