Individual project:

The students will select one of the project below as the course project: 

Project 1- control and stability analysis of AC microgrid:

Hands on 1: Design of inverter in grid forming control in Matlab/Simulink 

Hands on 2: Design of AC microgrid under droop control in Matlab/Simulink 

Hands on 3: State space modeling and stability analysis of AC microgrid

Hands on 4: Implement a selected novel method in the developed microgrid system. (It can hierarchical control, distributed control, stabilization, energy management, etc. You can select a paper introduced in the course, or find a paper through IEEE xplore. You can also develop something new based on your own research topic. The selected method/paper need to be discussed with examiner and get approval before you start this part. ) 

Submit report and Matlab files

Project 2: control and stability analysis of DC microgrid:

Hands on 1: Design of DC/DC converter in voltage control 

Hands on 2: Design of DC microgrid under droop control  

Hands on 3: State space modeling and stability analysis of DC microgrid

Hands on 4: Implement a selected novel method in the developed microgrid system. (It can hierarchical control, distributed control, stabilization, energy management, etc. You can select a paper introduced in the course, or find a paper through IEEE xplore. You can also develop something new based on your own research topic. The selected method/paper need to be discussed with examiner and get approval before you start this part. )

Microgrid concept, inverter control, AC microgrid control, DC microgrid control, modelling and stability analysis, distributed control, energy management, cybersecurity

This course aims to teach modelling, control, analysis and implemention of microgrids. After the course completion, the participants are expected to achieve the knowledge and skill to:

1. Describe the microgrid concept and how microgrids are deployed to support renewable integration and sustainable development of smart grid and society.
2. Model, control and simulate inverters and DC/DC converters
3. Control and simulate a microgrid with multiple converters
4. Develop state-space modeling of a microgrid
5. Analyze stability of a microgrid
6. Identify a specific research problem in microgrid area, and implement a selected novel method in the developed microgrid system.

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

• EXA1 - Examination, 6.0 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.

The grade is P/F. 

Passing of the course requires the active participation of all lectures (absence can be only accepted with good reasons) and passing of the course project.
