• Power system stability
• Frequency stability
• Voltage stability
• Power electronics
• Renewable energy integration
• Small signal analysis

Participants should preferably have general knowledge of electrical engineering, including familiarity with dynamic systems, control theory, and basic powersystem concepts.

By the end of the course, participants should be able to:
• Understand the classification and theory of power      system stability
• Analyze frequency, angle, and voltage stability phenomena
• Distinguish between small-signal and large-signal stability methods
• Explain the influence of power electronic converters and inverter-based resources on system dynamics
• Apply simulation tools to assess and improve system stability

The course counts for 3 ECTS credit. All students will receive a diploma stating participation in the course.

Remarks - workload:
In total about 84 hours (18 teaching, 36 hours for preparations and practicing, 15 hours for simulation, 15 hours for finalizing a report and examination.

Evaluation form: Participants will complete assignments with a report and simulation. Each participant is expected to submit a short report demonstrating their understanding
and application of simulation of power system systems.

Criteria for assessment: Evaluation is based on the submitted report, oral exam (presentation and Q/A session)

Please observe that it is impossible to register for PhD courses until 4 months before start

Outside of AAU
If you are from outside Aalborg University and you wish to enroll in one of our PhD courses, you must create a profile. This is done by clicking on “create new account” and filling out the form in PhD Moodle.

Cancellation
Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before the start of the course. The Doctoral School has a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up.

Registered illness sent to the course organizer and the aauphd@aau.dk is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days.

Diploma
All passed participants will receive a diploma as a PDF file.
The Doctoral School kindly ask for your patience, as it might take a while before you receive the final course diploma. This is due to the process of gathering evaluations.

Please address questions regarding the evaluation or issue of the diploma to the Doctoral School, via email at phdcourses@adm.aau.dk
