Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to:
identify the improvements of a new measurement technique compared to existing techniques
analyze the benefits with a new proposed material compared with existing solutions
investigate the traceability of new findings to more well-known concepts
compare the properties of new designs compared with existing
control and repeat proposed simulation results
analyze the developments in the area of ultra high voltages (UHV) and what obstacles that come in the way
describe the latest findings in the high voltage area during the last 5-10 years
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
MSc in electrical engineering, physical engineering or similar. EI2430 or FEI3232 are strongly recommended.
Literature

Examination and completion
Grading scale
G
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.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Other requirements for final grade
One ten page long (font 12pt) essay on the latest findings in some selected area of the high voltage engineering field. Participated in 5 out of 7 workshops, each time giving an oral presentation of something from a research article not older than 5 years. One repeated simulation of data from articles. One detailed report on how to repeat a certain experiment.
Examiner
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.
