EN2912 Individual Project in Electric Power and Energy systems II 7.5 credits

Since the aim of the course is to develop the students' research skills, it is natural that most of the course consists of self-study, e .g. by reading textbooks, technical reports, master and doctoral theses, scientific articles, and of course the student's own research efforts. In addition, students will be supervised by an experienced researcher in the field; He/she will teach the student good research practice and advise on how to solve various research problems.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

• describe, explain, demonstrate and develop relevant methods and computational models for a scientific problem in a chosen topic

• choose an appropriate solution method for the selected topic

• orally present and discuss theory and case studies within the selected topic

• write a technical report or scientific paper to communicate publishable results

• describe the publication process of scientific articles in the field of electric power engineering.

Knowledge in philosophy of science and scientific methodology, 4.5 credits, equivalent to AK2030.

Knowledge in analysis of electric power system, 6 higher education credits, equivalent to completed course EG2100,

or

Knowledge in electric machines and drive systems, 6 higher education credits, equivalent completed course EJ2201,

or

Knowledge in power electronics, 6 higher education credits, equivalent completed course EJ2301,

or

knowledge in electricity network technology and switchgear design, 6 credits, equivalent to the completed course

EI2436,

or

knowledge in electricity prices and emissions, 6 credits, corresponding to the completed course EG2230.

In addition, the examiner must have approved that the student has sufficient prerequisites to carry out an individual research project.

• PRO1 - Project work, 7.5 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.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

The course is assessed based on your project work. To pass, you must summarise your project work in accordance with your supervisor's instructions. The reporting of the project should include an oral presentation at a seminar (the presentation should be 10-30 minutes long and followed by a discussion with the audience) and a technical report or scientific paper. It is not a requirement that the report or article has been published, but the research and presentation should be of such quality that the work could be published.

Approved project work.

• 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.

To start this course, you need to find a professor within the Dept. of Electric Power and Energy Systems who is willing to accept you as a student. The student and the professor should agree on a suitable topic for the individual project.
