The course will be designed around theoretical lectures and hands on laboratory sessions, with a major emphasis on a systematic approach of modelling a power system which includes HVDC/FACTS technology in real-time simulation platform (OPAL-RT). In this course, the practical complexities around modelling a power system with a significant amount of power electronics based components, especially during hardware-in-the-loop kind of situations, will be discussed and demonstrated. Also, the course will involve some industry experts in the lectures to add the practical aspects of the operation and control of HVDC and FACTS technologies.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 8.0 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.
Other requirements for final grade
To successfully complete the course, the student has to pass the following:
- the given tasks and assignments
- the presentation and demonstration of the real-time simulation based project
- written exam
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary 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.
