Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course is divided into four parts as follows:
Electric power systems as a part of a sustainable energy system.
Basic modelling and analysis of the electric power systems: from physics of electricity, basic circuit analysis to modelling of AC systems to power flow assessment.
Studies of the performance of the power system with for example analysis of integration of local electricity production and effect of the electricity market.
Simulation of electric power system and handling of stability. Simulator tool PowerWorld.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to
describe conceptually the technical basic properties and the performance of the electric power system with main function to deliver electricity between production, consumption and storing
carry out basic modelling and analysis of electric circuits
describe the basics of synchronous generators
describe the basics of the three phase transmission system
carry out calculations per unit in the electric power system
describe the basic impact of different power loads on the electric power system
formulate and solve current flow analysis problem
describe the basic behaviour of the the electric power system based on simulation tools
discuss and give examples of how an electric power system can be developed to contribute to a sustainable society.
Detailed plan
The course comprises of: 10 lectures, 6 exercise sessions, one experimental laboratory exercise (4 h).
The schedule is available online from TimeEdit Kungliga Tekniska högskolan . If any changes in the schedule must be made the online version would be the accurate version.
All lectures and exercises are possible to attend digital. The links will be sent out ahead of the lectures.
General course information
The electric power system is a complex technical system with main function to deliver electricity between generation, consumption and storage. A sustainable energy system involves key components of; increasing use of renewable energy resources, increased energy efficiency and use of electricity in the transportation sector. As an effect of this some key questions for the electric power system are; integration of intermittent electricity generation e.g. from wind power, and connections of electrical vehicles to the electrical distribution system and different solutions for energy storage.
The course will give a conceptual introduction to the electric power system as a main part of the energy system. The course will start from fundamental basic concepts of the physics of electricity, basic circuit analysis. It will go through fundamental modeling of the alternating current (AC) system, the power flow, show on models for power system operation and planning including aspects of reliability and market, and design of renewable energy systems. For an understanding of the dynamic behavior of the electric power system the simulator tools will be used.
The course is offered in two versions. Both courses (EG111V and EG112V) includes the same introduction lectures to the electric power systems. The extended course (EG112V) also includes computer based laboratory exercises.
Contents
The course content is divided into five parts as follows:
Introduction with course information and presentation of the electric power system as part of a sustainable energy system.
Fundamental modeling and analysis of the electric power systems: from physics of electricity, basic circuit analysis to the modeling of AC system, generation and loads to power flow assessment.
Power system performance assessment and system operation and new technology.
Examples from current developments including a few guest lectures.
Conclusion with course summary.
There are one computer lab in the course EG112V. The computer lab deals with simulation of the electric power system and the handling of stability. The simulator tool PowerWorld will be used.
Language
The course is given in English and all course material including the examination is in English.
Other teachers
A few distinguished guest lectures from industry have been invited. They will provide examples of actual power system developments and connect the course theory to practice.

Support for students with disabilities
Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:
LAB1 - Laboratory work, 3.0 credits, Grading scale: P, F
TENA - Oral exam, 3.0 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.
The section below is not retrieved from the course syllabus:
Homework tasks are provided related to the exercises.
Detailed deadlines will be communicated during the course.
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.
