The main part of the course is a case study, where students analyse a part of the power system and its impact on the environment. The students work in groups in these case studies. In addition to that, students should invididually make a critical review of the work of another group and write an invidual essay on roles of the power system and the electric power engineer in a sustainable society. The students' work is supported by some lectures and supervision in group and individually.
