Course content

The course deals with exploring the ways and means to perform advanced power system analysis in normal operation and under symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. Models of generators, transformers and transmission lines essential for such analyses are assembled. Additionally, principles for the formulation, solution, and application of optimal power flow are established. Computer-aided analysis of the performance of large-scale power systems is one of the central learning objectives.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: After completing this course, the student will be able to comprehend, analyse, assess and apply, as applicable, the following: - advanced methods for power system analysis in steady state operation - principles of modelling and analysis of power systems subject to symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults - the mathematical description and use of symmetrical component theory - modelling of generators, transformers, lines and cables in the positive, negative and zero sequence systems - the significance of different earthing/grounding methods - the principles and application of advanced power flow and optimal power flow methods.

Skills: After completing this course the student will be able to: - conduct the analysis of large-scale power systems using advanced methods and algorithms - model generators, transformers, lines and cables in the positive, negative and zero sequence systems as basis for the analysis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults - perform analysis of power systems subjected to symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults - define, establish and solve equations for regular (AC) power flow, DC power flow, and optimal power flow - use simulation tools to perform comprehensive short circuit studies, load flow studies, and optimal power flow studies - use instruments and equipment in the laboratory - think independently and critically - supplement their learning through appropriate literature study - reflect upon results from assignments - demonstrate integrity and accountability in their learning.

General competence: After completing the course, the candidate shall have had increased: - skills in cooperation and interdisciplinary collaboration - ability to communicate effectively to peers, professionals and non-specialists alike through discussions, reports and presentations - ability to give constructive feedback to peers - ability to contribute to innovation and innovation processes.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, exercises, laboratory work and project work (with presentation). The course is given in English. Assignment/Project tasks will also be based on the usage of ready-made simulation tools and self-created software tools using Matlab/Python/C/C++.

Compulsory assignments

  • Laboratory

Further on evaluation

Grade-based evaluation of individual components of assessment is the basis for the final grade awarded in the course: a written final examination (70%), and project report (with presentation) (30%).

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral. If the student receives an F as a final grade even after the re-sit exam, then the student must retake the course in its entirety.

Permitted examination aids: support material code D. No printed or hand-written support material is allowed. A specific basic calculator is allowed. In addition, calculator Casio fx-991EX is allowed.

Required previous knowledge

Circuit Analysis, and Introductory Power Systems (e.g., TET4105), or equivalent. Additionally, programming skills, e.g., Matlab, Python, C/C++, are required.
