Inverter-based systems dominate modern grids due to increasing renewables, where grid-forming controlled converters plays a key role in maintaining power system stability. This course addresses crucial grid-forming converter principles, including grid codes, control design, stability, resonance damping, and fault management for power professionals and researchers.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
