Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
Knowledge and understanding
- summarize the requirements from grid codes, standards and regulations for new and existing power production, energy storage, direct current transmission, distribution networks and consumption.
- summarize the requirements for the operation of the power system under different operating states.
- explain the connection between operating states and the requirements in different grid codes.
- explain the relationship between operation states, operational security limits and the need for remedial measures.
- explain the procedure for verifying compliance with requirements in the grid codes, standards and regulations.
- explain the purpose of the required performance based on the needs of the power system.
Competence and skills
- perform dimensioning and necessary calculations and dynamic simulations related to relevant requirements.
- evaluate fulfilment of requirements based on technical data, calculations, dynamic simulations and tests.
- evaluate the impact of the required performance on the power system stability.
- evaluate what changes can be made to improve the performance of different components and thereby enable the fulfillment of different requirements.
Judgement and approach
- evaluate the need for required performance for different future expansion scenarios of the power system with new production, new consumption and new international connections.

Course contents
The course covers grid regulations, network codes and grid requirements and gives an overview of the different regulations, codes and requirements as well as the connection to maintaining a stable power system. Topics included in the course are:
- review of requirements and regulations for power production, energy storage, direct current transmission, distribution networks and consumption aimed at ensuring the stability of the power system.
- review of the operation of the power system and the different system operating states that the power system may be within.
- review of the limits that apply to operational safety with respect to frequency, voltage and load flows, as well as design fault events that must be taken into account.
- review of the process for verification of compliance with requirements, both for new connections and modernizations, as well as of the various actors in the power system.
- link the requirements to the stability of the power system and evaluate the requirements that may be necessary in different future scenarios for the power system.
Other regulations
