10. Course Goals (acquired competencies):

Acquiring knowledge on the major functions for monitoring and control of the electricity distribution systems including technical preconditions for their application and some of the most important related algorithms, as well as, on the contemporary conceptual solutions for demand side management in distribution systems with broadly installed ITC equipment and under conditions of developed electricity market.

11. Course Syllabus:

1. Aims and objectives of the distribution system monitoring and control: General characteristics of the distribution systems; Needs for monitoring and control of distribution system operation; Needs for input data; Distribution management system (DMS).  2. DMS functions: Dispatching tool, including functions Network Topology Analysis, Switching Operations;  Load Flow; State Estimation; Fault Calculation; Optimal Reconfiguration; Load Restoration; Voltage Control; Reliability Analysis; Relay Protection Analysis; Under Load Switching.  3. Distribution System State Estimation: Algorithm for load estimation in distribution system with minimum information.  4. Distribution Network Reconfiguration: Algorithm for distribution network reconfiguration for loss minimization and load balancing; Algorithm for supply restoration.  5. Volt/Var Control: Algorithm for integrated (decentralized) Volt/Var control.  6. Distribution System Load Management: Load characteristics in distribution system, Load side management; Load management in smart distribution networks – concepts of Virtual power plant, Integration of electric vehicles and storage.

12. Learning methods:

Lecturing including presentations and simulations, interactions at classes, homework as well as project and independent work.
