Separate module at Master´s level
Reliability Assessment in Electric Power Systems
Facts
In line with the green transition, several new challenges arise in connection with electricity production. The module provides an in-depth introduction to the application of reliability analysis in connection with the systems.
The basic principles of reliability assessments for generation and transmission systems are reviewed. The specificities of renewable electricity systems are in focus. Cost-benefit analyses, where reliability is weighted in relation to costs, are discussed in detail in relation to the technical solutions.
System components' reliability and models for when they fail are described, and the participants work with the mathematical-statistical principles and methods for their evaluation at component and system level, so that competencies are obtained to make risk assessments in relation to necessary redundancy and reliability. Work is being done on both individual energy generating plants as well as the supply networks that will supply electricity to the consumer. This includes substation and switching reliability.
Work is also being done on the necessary data quality in order to make adequate reliability assessments.
Target Group and Outcome
Admission Requirements and Application
Teaching activities
The module is affiliated with the section for 'electrical systems and microgrids' at Aalborg University, Department of Energy, and will be offered by world-leading researchers and teachers in the field.
It is expected that the module will partly be offered via physical teaching, but online or hybrid teaching will also be used to the extent relevant.
The module is offered in English.
Participants are evaluated through solving tasks through the module.
