Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The module is based on knowledge achieved in power systems and
power electronics or similar.
Students who complete the module will have knowledge about and
ability to analyse more advanced topics within the area of power
systems taking a starting point from today's
state-of-the-art.
Learning objectives
