Course Overview
TET4575 - This specialization course is intended to provide sufficient breadth and depth of topics for specialization on the advanced aspects of power system operation, planning and analysis. This course is composed of multiple blocks/modules. More information related to the detailed composition of the actual blocks offered, their learning activities, assessment forms, and logistics of the execution, will be provided at the start of the semester.
Course Highlights
Block 1: Methods and algorithms for power systems. The overall aim is to embrace a computational mindset for power systems, through implementation of a select-few advanced analysis methods and algorithms.
Block 2: Flexibility in power grid operation and planning The overall aim is to give a deeper insight into power system flexibility (in general), flexibility in grid operation, and flexibility in grid planning.
Block 3: Wind power in electric power systems The overall aim is to give a deeper insight into a variety of topics related to the integration of offshore and onshore wind power in electric power systems.
MAIN GOAL
To provide sufficient breadth and depth of topics for specialization on the advanced aspects of power system operation, planning and analysis.

Admissions
Entry Requirements
Admission to a program of study is required:
- + Electric Power Engineering (MSELPOWER)
- + Energy and the Environment (MIENERG)
- + Energy and the Environment (MTENERG)
Teaching and Assessment Methods
- + Lectures
- + Assignments
- + Mini-projects
- + Block 1 Methods and algorithms - Assessment: There are five mandatory individual assignments. Assignments are given along with the lectures. The basis for the evaluation is understanding of the methods and techniques. All will be called in for a short meeting, to explain and discuss any part of the assignments submitted. Grading will be based on the submitted assignments and any subsequent discussions.
- + Block 2 Flexibility - Assessment: Mandatory individual assignments. Assignments are given along with the lectures and will together form the project work in the course. Individual clarifications will be sought from the group work as needed. The course project work is a group work. All students should be able to explain all parts of the project. Grading will be based on the submitted assignments and any subsequent discussions.
- + Block 3 Wind Power - Assessment: The course is assessed through a project conducted by a group of two students. The mini project assesses the key topics taught in the module and comprises of a mix of calculations and questions to test reasoning and understanding. A major component of the assessment is the preparation of a technical paper in the IEEE style and an associated poster.
Application Deadline: TBC.
Practical Notes
