Course contents:
Our electric power systems face major restructuring. For example, they will be carbon-free and undergo a switchover to digitization. One challenge is that a larger part of the electricity will be generated in distributed renewable, uncontrollable, often local sites with different performance in large numbers. At the same time the system should be able to handle heavy sources and sinks for electric power and energy by building HVDC cables to other countries and that nuclear power is phased out in Sweden. Well-functioning electric power and energy transfer will be an important key to switch to renewable society for secure exchange of electrical energy and power quality. The course will provide a deeper insight and understanding of our complex power systems. The course will also provide insight into how ICT and computer sciences are used to plan, monitor, manage and maintain tomorrow's power system. The course highlights how modern IT technology can be used in existing power systems is now undergoing considerable changes in terms of both manufacturing, transfer and use of electrical energy and power. The course will include a one-hour lecture on a topic that students choose.

Type of course:
Lectures: 13 weeks. 4 hours per week = 52 hours + weecly exercises and seminars with the teacher by appointment
Examiner:
The external and internal examiner jointly prepare the exam questions and the correction manual. The external examiner reviews the internal examiner's examination results by correcting a random sample of candidate's exams as a calibration according to the Department's guidelines for examination markings.
