Peer review of paper (fellow student)

The course is aimed to you that want to perform power system reliability assessment. The goal for the course is to give the participants deeper knowledge on how to use reliability analysis as a tool for decision support during design, operation and maintenance of electric power systems.

The student should after passed course have reached such level in their understanding of power system reliability that they are able to contribute to the research field. Specifically being able to use reliability assessment as a tool for decision support for planning and operation of the electric power system. After completed course the participants shall achieved knowledge to:

    * Describe the fundamental definitions and concepts for reliability assessment

    * Analyze a system using the following techniques for reliability assessment:

      - Network modeling

      - Component importance techniques

      - Markov modeling

      - Lifetime models

    * Analyze an electrical distribution system using software tools.

    * Formulate a Life cycle cost model (LCC).

    * Discuss power system regulatory issues.

After completed course the participants shall be able to publish results (conference level) on one of the topics:

(1) Reliability data assessment and modeling,

(2) Reliability centered maintenance for maintenance optimization,

(3) Condition monitoring and diagnostics methods and

(4) Computer tools supporting techniques for maintenance planning.

(5) Control system reliability.

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

• EXA1 - Examination, 9.0 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.
