The course is aiming at giving basic knowledge of the electric energy system and its use in society. It is aiming at identifying and explaining technology and systems for generation, transmission, and use of electric energy and the models thereof from an engineering point of view.
Relation to other compulsory courses in Electrical Engineering
The course connects to the course
The course is very relevant for sustainable development. In focus of the climate transition is the energy transition, where fossil energy is replaced by electric energy from renewable sources. Electric energy is also very important for our prosperity. The course describes generation, transmission and use of electricity and also solutions that minimise energy use as well as the impact on climate and environment.

Grading scale: TH - (U, 3, 4, 5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Laboratory work and two written partial exams give the grade three during the course. For higher grades, or if any of the partial exams is not passed, there will be a written exam.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
