Course content

This course contains a specialization project at 15 ECTS credits directed towards techninal, economical and evironmental analysises of systems that demand energy. This involves requirements of both power and energy, inclusive conversion, transportation and use of energy. The course also has projectworks directed towards analysis and development of infrastucture and relevant systems giving an efficient and environmentally use and supply of energy for a sustainable society. This course is mainly directed towards electrical systems, but may also include integrated electro/thermal systems. Relevant fields will be: Energy market and energy cooperation with foreign countries, power demand, power quality, integration of new energy sources i the electrical power system, use of energy with interaction between different energy carriers.
With the choice of the project work every student will get a belonging to one of the following professinal groups at The Department of Electrical Power Engineering:
- Energy Conversion Group.
- Power System Group.
- Electrical Power Technology Group.

Learning outcome

The student will specialize himself/herself within a specific topic within energy systems planning based on scientific methods. It shall give the students knowledge and skills in how to carry out individual research projects, including reporting of the achieved results. The student shall also gain experience in giving oral presentastions through a presentation of his/her work.

Learning methods and activities

Independent project work with guidance. The project work and the results must be described in a project report. After submission of the report, the student must give an oral presentation of the project in front of employees and fellow students. The oral presentation does not affect the grade achieved for the project work.

Recommended previous knowledge

At the selection of a project work it is supposed that the student have a combination of courses that makes up a sufficient professional background to implement the project in a good manner.
