The student's learning outcomes on passing the course
Knowledge:
The student
- has advanced knowledge of power systems dynamics and control
- has advanced knowledge of control systems
- has advanced knowledge of, and is able to analyze the influences of wind and solar power in the power system
- can model and implement a dynamic model in a dedicated simulation tool
- has a good understanding of price mechanisms in the power market.
Skills:
The student
