Course Overview
The course aims to provide advanced knowledge about dynamic behaviour, stability and control in electric power systems. This will give specialised insight and understanding of the theoretical foundations behind the physical phenomena that are necessary for modelling and control of power systems. After the course the student shall have gained skills to perform independent analysis and controller design for power systems based on state-of-the-art computer based methods and tools for dynamic analysis. A group project work running through most of the semester is a major part of the home work to ensure a research based approach and problem based learning of the curriculum. Python and dedicated power system dynamic simulation tools are used for modelling and simulation of various aspects of power system stability phenomena.
After completing the course, the candidate will have increased skills in cooperation and interdisciplinary collaboration, the ability to communicate effectively to professionals and non-specialists alike through reports and presentations and the ability to contribute to innovation and innovation processes
MAIN GOAL
After the course the student shall have gained skills to perform independent analysis and controller design for power systems based on state-of-the-art computer based methods and tools for dynamic analysis.
