The course aims to provide advanced knowledge about dynamic behaviour, stability and control in electric power systems. This will give specialised insight and understanding of the theoretical foundations behind the physical phenomena that are necessary for modelling and control of power systems. MATLAB and dedicated power system dynamic simulation tools are used for modelling and simulation of various aspects of power system stability phenomena.
Main Goal
After the course the student shall have gained skills to perform independent analysis and controller design for power systems based on state-of-the-art computer based methods and tools for dynamic analysis.
Skills to be Gained
Analysis and controller design for dynamic behaviour in electric power systems.

English
Requirements:
The students should have basic knowledge in control system analysis, electrical machines and power system analysis.
Teaching and assessment methods:
A group project work running through most of the semester is a major part of the home work to ensure a research based approach and problem based learning of the curriculum. The students work in groups of 2-4. The project is being graded and together with the written exam for the final evaluation.
