Course aim
The purpose of the course is two-fold.1.To give the students knowledge about the challenges in a future network system. A system which includes a lot of dispersed generation units with fluctuating power production (wind turbines, solar systems etc.) and other new power plants based on for instance biomass fuel. At the same time the future power system might also have a fluctuating power consumption, which to some extend could be controlled by a price elastic consumption. The course focuses on the full chain from the power production to consumer consumption. Therefore the overall subjects of the course is balancing, stability, reliability and power quality of the future power system seen in relation to power production, transmission, distribution and power consumption. 2.To contribute to students attainment of knowledge and comprehension of the problem-based project oriented learning method.
