About the course
Course content
This course contains a specialization project at 15 ECTS credits directed towards electrical utilities and power systems, development and use of equipment for energy conversion, materials for use in electrical components, overvoltage problems, condition assessment and diagnostic methods. Additionally, it is focused on system analysis for generation, transmission, conversion and end use of energy, including technical, economical and environmental aspects. The projects may include offshore and marine plants, transmission and distribution networks, systems with mixed energy sources and carriers, installations in buildings, use of renewable energy resources, electrical railway systems and propulsion of vehicles. Also, relevant topics are energy markets and energy cooperation with foreign countries, power demand, power quality and reliability, integration of new energy sources in the electrical power system. With the choice of the project work every student will be connected to one of the following professional groups at The Department of Electric 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 electric power engineering 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.
