10.    Course Goals (acquired competencies):  This course will introduce the students to the topic of power plant control and automation. With the completion of the studies, the students will be able to read, interpret, and understand power circuit diagrams, and to design control algorithms for power plant control.

11.    Course Syllabus: Basic introduction to power plant control and automation. Modelling of the power plant control system elements for processes with slower dynamics. Modelling of power production units and plants. Modelling and simulation of energy systems. Decentralized models of complex power plants. Frequency and active power control in power plant control systems.
12.    Learning methods:  Combined: presentations, homework, project assignments, practical laboratory work.

19.    Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Regular attendance at classes and completion of the laboratory work assignments.
20.    Forms of assessment Two partial written exams are scheduled (at the middle and at the end of the semester, each with duration of 120 minutes), tests that are conducted during the classes, as well as homework and project assignments, which are presented/defended during the semester.
1. Students who have passed the partial exams are considered to have passed the final written exam. A final oral exam can also be scheduled, with duration up to 60 minutes. The final grade is formed based on the points from the partial written exams, the tests, the homework and the project assignments and the final oral exam (if scheduled).
2. In the planned exam sessions, a final written exam is taken (lasting 120 minutes). For students who have passed the final written exam, a final oral exam can also be scheduled (with duration up to 60 minutes). The final grade is formed based on the points from the final written exam, the tests, the homework and the project assignments and the final oral exam (if scheduled)
