  1. Three-phase systems

    Balanced three-phase circuits, active and reactive power, and dq reference frames.

    Prerequisites: Waveforms and AC

    Planned

  2. Power flow

    Network models and the power-flow problem: bus voltages, line flows and losses in a grid.

    Prerequisites: Three-phase systems · Computation and numerics

    Planned

  3. Grid-connected converters

    Converters that exchange power with the grid: synchronisation, current control and grid-support functions.

    Prerequisites: Control · Three-phase systems

    Planned

  4. Stability

    Small-signal stability of grids with many converters, and how converter and network dynamics interact.

    Prerequisites: Power flow · Modelling

    Planned

  5. Microgrids

    DC, AC and hybrid microgrids: droop control, power sharing and energy management.

    Prerequisites: Grid-connected converters · Power flow

    Planned

  6. Solid-state transformers

    Multi-stage power-electronic transformers that interface medium-voltage grids, DC links and loads.

    Prerequisites: Isolated converters · Grid-connected converters
