Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course is divided into four parts as follows:
- Introduction with course information and presentation of the electric power system 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 including aspect of new development with e.g. integration about renewable energy, operation and stability and market.
- Conclusion with course summary.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student shall 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
- 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 electric power system based on simulation tools
- reason about and give examples of how an electric power system can be developed with the aim of contributing to a sustainable society.
