This course deals with the various instabilities in a power system that can lead to major
power outages, and also how to avoid these instabilities using control technology.

Course contents
The course is given in English, and treats models and
computation methods for power system stability and
control. In the course assignments these models and
methods are applied to solve realistic problems with
computer programs written in MATLAB.
The following areas are treated in the course:
• Stability: voltage stability, transient and smallsignal
stability, and simulation models.
• Control: power oscillation damping and frequency
control.
Intended learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course the student should be able to
- explain the various power system instabilities and dynamics in power systems,
- apply and explain different methods for analyzing power system stability,
- create mathematical models for dynamic and stability analysis of power systems,
- explain different power system controls, and their impact on the system stability,
- demonstrate how the transient stability of a power system can be analyzed by using Equal Area Criterion,
- analyze electromechanical modes in power systems,
- design excitation systems to improve transient stability, and power oscillations damping,
- perform frequency control,
- reflect on, evaluate, and critically assess others’ scientific results.
Course Disposition

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 10,0 hp, betygsskala: 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.
The result of the project is reported in a technical report.
Other requirements for final grade
• Approved exam.
• Approved technical report.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

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.
