Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge and comprehension within the Problem Based
Learning methods, as it is applied at Aalborg University
- Have knowledge and analytical skills within project work in
connection with problems in the areas of electrical energy
engineering.
- Have knowledge and comprehension within dynamics in electrical
energy engineering systems or apparatus
Skills
- Be able to analyse the dynamic behaviour of electrical energy
systems or apparatus within the area of electrical power systems,
electrical drive systems or in wind power systems
- Be able to make models and simulate such dynamic
systems
- Be able to verify the models and the simulations by measurement
in the laboratory or from existing data
Competences
- Be able to control the working and development process within
the project theme, and be able to develop new solutions within the
area of dynamics in electrical energy engineering
- Independently be able to define and analyse scientific problems
within the area of dynamics in electrical energy engineering, and
based on that make and state the reasons for decisions made
- Independently be able to continue own development in competence
and specialisation
Type of instruction
Problem based project oriented project work in groups. During the
project period you should be able to plan and structure the project
work, work in groups and solve conflicts, use consensus versus
fight/voting and see differences among group members as a strength.
You should also work with the structure of a project report and
prepare a problem formulation, set up project limitation and time
schedule. The project is based on a problem where the dynamics of
an electrical energy system or an electrical apparatus has to be
analysed. The problem can be within the area of: • Electrical power
systems • Electrical drive systems • Wind power systems where, for
instance, short circuits, starting procedures, control issues etc.
demand that the dynamics of the systems have to be taken into
account. The system or apparatus is analysed and modelled and has
to be simulated in an appropriate simulation tool. Verification of
the models and the simulations are done by measurement in the
laboratory or from existing data.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 10 ECTS project module, the work load is expected
to be 300 hours for the student
Exam
Prerequisite for enrollment for the exam
- It is a pre-condition for students who have not studied the
Aalborg PBL Model at Aalborg University that they have passed the
course in Project Based Learning and Project Management prior to
the project examination.
