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.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- LAB1 - Laboratory work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TENA - Oral exam, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, 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.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
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.
