The course home page will be the primary media for communication during the course outside classes, and it also provides contact information for the involved personnel. Due to corona situation we prefer on-line meetings and please contact us via e-mail, and we will set up a meeting. E-mail addresses are given by firstname.lastname@chalmers.se. Please write the course code (ENM125) in the subject because then it will be easier for us to answer you with the correct information.

Course purpose

The overall aim of this course is to provide an understanding of an electric power system with main function to deliver electricity between generation, consumption and storage.

Study plan

Examination form

Examination is based on passed laboratory work and design work incl. report, written exam and sustainable essay. The written exam consists of three parts (Quizzes) which all shall be passed individually. Each part of the exam gives maximum 6 points (18 in total) and at least 3 points are need for each part to pass the exam. To pass the Design exercise gives maximum 6 points and at least 3 points is needed to pass the exercise. The sustainable essay gives maximum 14 points and at least 8 points needed to pass on the report part.

For grade 4 requires more than or equal to 30 but less than 34 total points and for grade 5 more than and equal to 34 points as long as all other requirements are fulfilled.

Points from each quiz will only be valid for one year, until the course again starts in study year 2021/2022 then you will have to retake all the quizzes.

No kind of plagiarism is allowed.

The grade of the course is (U), 3, 4 or 5. To get any grade all mandatory parts have to be passed and all minimum points of the different parts have to be achieved.
