Entry requirements

Bachelor's degree with a major in Electrical Engineering or equivalent. The first-cycle program shall include at least 3 credits in programming and 15 credits in mathematics. English 6.

The forms of assessment of student performance

Individual written assignment. Oral presentation in group.

Course contents

The course is an introduction to power system simulations and gives a basic understanding of different types of simulations and calculations and which studies different calculations/simulations can be used for. Topics included in the course are:

• description of different types of steady state calculations and dynamic simulations such as loadflow calculations, short circuit calculations and dynamic simulations for studies of loadflow and dynamic events in power systems.
• introduction to different calculation- and simulation programs and a review of typical applications/studies for the different programs, and how the results from the studies can be used to dimension the power system and its components.
• presentation and visualization of the results from calculations and simulations.

Other regulations

Course grading: F/Fx/E/D/C/B/A - Insufficient, Insufficient- more work required before the credit can be awarded, Sufficient, Satisfactory, Good, Very Good, Excellent
