...along with their contact details. If the course have external guest lecturers or such, give a brief description of their role and the company or similar they represent.

If needed, list administrative staff, along with their contact details.

Course purpose

Short description of the course purpose and content: can be copied from syllabus in Studieportalen. Additional information can be added.

Schedule

TimeEdit

Course literature

List all mandatory literature, including descriptions of how to access the texts (e.g. Cremona, Chalmers Library, links).

Also list reference literature, further reading, and other non-mandatory texts.

Course design

Description of the course's learning activities; how they are implemented and how they are connected. This is the student's guide to navigating the course. Do not forget to give the student advice on how to learn as much as possible based on the pedagogy you have chosen. Often, you may need to emphasize concrete things like how often they should enter the learning space on the learning platform, how different issues are shared between supervisors, etc.

Provide a plan for

  • lectures
  • exervises
  • laboratory work
  • projects
  • supervision
  • feedback
  • seminars

Should contain a description of how the digital tools (Canvas and others) should be used and how they are organized, as well as how communication between teachers and students takes place (Canvas, e-mail, other).

Do not forget to describe any resources that students need to use, such as lab equipment, studios, workshops, physical or digital materials.

You should be clear how missed deadlines and revisions are handled.

Learning objectives and syllabus

Learning objectives:

i) with regards to the knowledge gained:

  • Calculate fault currents for unbalanced faults using of symmetrical components for a simple power system.
  • Propose grounding methods for various type of grids and evaluate their effects on faults currents.
  • Evaluate the effects of magnetic saturations of relay instrument devices on measurement accuracy and relay's performance. 
  • Propose protection schemes (e.g., overcurrent protection - non-directional and directional) for distribution systems for various grid structures and perform relay settings and coordination study.
  • Choose protection schemes (e.g., distance protection) for transmission systems and perform relays settings and coordination study for various conditions (e.g., considering parallel lines, in-feeds, high fault resistance, etc.)
  • Propose protection schemes for generators, bus-bars and transformers and determine correct relay settings. 
  • Describe the main the roles of SCADA/EMS in operating power systems, its functionalities and perform calculations of power system states based on measurements.
ii) with regards to the skills developed:
  • Simulate the power system and perform unbalanced fault analysis and analyze the results for various system conditions using a specialized power system protection software (e.g., CAPE).
  • Carry out relay settings and coordination studies for distribution and transmission systems a using specialized power system protection software (e.g., CAPE).
  • Develop a state-estimation model using GAMS and evaluate the impacts of measurement errors in the results obtained. 
  • Develop a measure for voltage stability improvement based on wide area monitoring using PSS/E and evaluate its performance under various system conditions. 
  • Collaborate to work in team to manage projects and lab experiment.

Study plan

If the course is a joint course (Chalmers and Göteborgs Universitet) you should link to both syllabus (Chalmers and Göteborgs Universitet).

Examination form

Description of how the examination – written examinations and other – is executed and assessed.

Include:

  • what components are included, the purpose of these, and how they contribute to the learning objectives
  • how compulsory and/or voluntary components contribute to the final grade
  • grading limits and any other requirements for all forms of examination in order to pass the course (compulsory components)
  • examination form, e.g. if the examination is conducted as a digital examination
  • time and place of examination, both written exams and other exams such as project presentations
  • aids permitted during examinations, as well as which markings, indexes and notes in aids are permitted

Do not forget to be extra clear with project assignments; what is the problem, what should be done, what is the expected result, and how should this result be reported. Details such as templates for project reports, what happens at missed deadlines etc. are extra important to include.
