FEG3317 Advanced Power Systems Laboratory Experience, Major Graduate Course 10.0 credits

The course is concerned with the application of advanced technologies, analysis methods, and tools with the objective of efficient system operation, control and protection of electric power systems.

The course is oriented towards smart grid concepts such as the application of modern telecommunication systems, synchrophasor technology, and other technologies for smart operation, smart control and smart protection in the presence of renewable energy sources.

In particular, practical implementations in the laboratory are analyzed and compared to the theoretical background. The course makes use of real-time and real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation for testing and validation of the implementation of new analysis methods, hardware and software prototypes developed during the course.

Upon completion of the course the student should be able to

• Understand and describe advanced concepts of power system monitoring, operation, control and/or protection.
• Implement and deploy solutions studied in the course.
• Solve practical challenges in solution implementations.
• Provide an analysis of practical limitations of the presented solutions and propose means for improvement.

The course is intended for Ph.D. students in electric power systems, but can also be suitable for students from other fields of electrical engineering.

To be determined together with the course responsible before the course.

Technical reports and scientific publications.

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

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 project should be implemented in the laboratory environment and is presented in a technical report.

Approved laboratory work and approved technical report.
