Distributed Generation and Micro Grids: Concepts and Roles
About the course
Can be taken as a single subject.
The student will choose one of the presented projects. Relevant topics includes Distributed Generation and Micro grid related areas. All project proposals will include both a theoretical and a practical part.
Admission requirements
A relevant undergraduate Bachelor degree in Engineering program in power electronics and electrical machines. Basic knowledge in power systems is also an advantage.
In addition, the following requirements must be met:
- minimum 25 credits in mathematics (equivalent to Mathematical Methods 1, 2 og 3), 5 credits in statistics and 7,5 ects i physics on a higher level is required.
Application code: 9371
Objectives of the course
After completing the subject, the candidate will have the following learning outcomes:
Knowledge:
After having followed the course, the candidate shall have obtained insight in:
- The candidate will have knowledge about the working principle of the chosen project topic.
- The candidate will be able to explain the relevant theory for the chosen project.
- The candidate will know how to write a project report according to the IEEE standard.
Skills:
- The candidate will be able to derive a mathematical model of the project case.
- The candidate will be able to implement a simulation model of the project case.
- The candidate will be able to build real time simulations and also an experimental prototype setup for laboratory tests.
General competence:
- The candidate will be able to see general electrical engineering theory in a practical perspective.

Prerequisites
Anbefalte forkunnskaper
ELE-3500 Power System Fundamentals, ELE-3503 Power System Stability, ELE-3607 Power Electronics
Credit reduction
If you pass the examination in this course, you will get an reduction in credits (as stated below), if you previously have passed the following courses:
- ELE-3507 Distributed Generation and Micro Grids: Concepts and Roles 5 ects
Teaching methods
Readings and Discussions + Supervisions + Projects:
1.There will not be regular lectures like power system fundamentals ELE 3600 course.
2. So the course is mainly based on the readings by the students and discussions.
Language of instruction and examination
EnglishSchedule
The schedules are normally finalized and published well in advance of the start of the semester, often a few weeks beforehand. This gives students the opportunity to organize their studies and prepare for upcoming activities.
It is recommended to check the schedule regularly, as changes may occur.
