FEH3250 Power System Automation 6.0 credits
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course consists of lectures, substation automation system (SAS) design assignment and communication system design and evaluation. In addition, participants will perform an individual project in a field within the course scope.
Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course, the participants should be able to:
· Analyse the new requirements facing transmission and distribution grids with a focus on automation and protection functions.
· Design automation functions for distribution grids, including for instance interlocking, switching schemes and protection.
· Create substation automation system architectures using the Substation Configuration Language.
· Interface automation devices with realtime simulators to evaluate protection settings against typical power system faults (over current, three phase fault, transformer internal fault)
· Analyse cybersecurity threats to substation automation systems and design appropriate detection and protection mechanisms.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
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.
Other requirements for final grade
Complete all three course components with a passing grade.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed 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.
