Location of KTH Royal Institute of Technology
This programme (TELPM in short) is offered by the School of Electrical Engineering, and covers all major fields in electric power engineering including systems and components where electricity is principally used to transfer energy.
The programme is concerned with understanding, modelling and analyzing a wide range of topics related to design, operation, and control of individual power system components as well as the power system in its entirety. After successful completion of the programme, participants are able to pursue an academic research career or a professional career in industry.
Career prospects
For decades, Sweden has been at the forefront of electric power technologies. Sweden has developed, and for many years operated, one of the most advanced grid systems and power markets in the world. The result is leading edge research and development environments at companies and universities. KTH has been an important contributory factor to this success, and represents an excellent education within the electric power field. (The first Ph.D. thesis in engineering in Sweden addressed the transient stability of a power system with long transmission lines. The thesis defence took place at KTH in 1928.)
Thus, after successful completion of this programme, participants are able to pursue an academic research career as well as a professional career in industry in Sweden, Europe and worldwide.
Contents
This programme consists of a minimum of 90 ECTS of course work (corresponding to three terms’ full-time studies), and a final degree project of 30 ECTS (corresponding to one term’s full-time studies).
TELPM may be divided in the following three subject areas, namely:
1. Electric power systems (focusing on power system dynamics, stability and control, and on electricity markets).
2. Electrotechnical Design (focusing on the physical and technical fundamentals for design and maintenance of electrical low and high voltage components, equipment and systems).
3. Electrical drives (focusing on electrical machines and power electronics).
The purpose of this programme is that the participants (after successful completion) will be able to identify, explain, analyse and solve
• the basic issues within the above mentioned subject areas
• the in-depth issues within a chosen subject area
The programme offers five compulsory courses (37,5 ECTS) and a number of conditional elective and elective courses. With a suitable selection of the conditional elective courses, participants may specialise in one of the above mentioned subject areas.
Degree project
The final degree project (30 ECTS) corresponds to five months' full-time studies, and is examined at KTH. It can be performed at KTH or externally. The project must be presented in a written report, the Master's Thesis, and also orally in a seminar. The project can be initiated if and only if 67,5 ECTS of course work have been successfully completed. At least 30 ECTS must be from compulsory courses, and at least 22,5 ECTS from conditional elective courses (1). Further, depending on the subject area of the project the required (by the examiner) courses must have been included in these 67,5 ECTS of course work.
