Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course is divided into four parts as follows:

  • Introduction with course information and presentation of the electric power system 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 including aspect of new development with e.g. integration about renewable energy, operation and stability and market.
  • Conclusion with course summary.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student shall 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
  • 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 electric power system based on simulation tools
  • reason about and give examples of how an electric power system can be developed with the aim of contributing to a sustainable society.
