Course information
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents *
This course covers the stability and control of the electric power system. The course starts with a presentation of large power outages in the world. Then, different instabilities in electric power system will be presented and discussed in the course. After that, we will be able to analyse the large power outages in the world presented in the first lecture. Furthermore, different control algorithms for improving power system stability will be presented.
Intended learning outcomes *
After passing the course, the student should be able to
- create mathematical models for describing the dynamics of the power system
- based on the derived mathematical models, apply different basic methods to
a) study and analyse the basic concept for the presented instabilities in power systems
b) improve the stability of the system based on basic control algorithms, - carry out the other intended learning outcomes by using Matlab numerically and present and discuss received numerical results.

Examination *
- PROA - Project, 3.5 credits, Grading scale: P, F
- TENA - Written examination, 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.
The final mark is equally to the grade on TENA.

Transitional regulations *
Earlier, the only examination was PRO1 (7.5 credits, A-F). Students who have not completed the course with the earlier examination should follow the new examination rules. However the final mark and credit will be reported as PRO1 (7.5 credits, A-F).
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.
