9. Course Prerequisites Passed: Power Networks
10. Course Goals (acquired competencies): Understanding the principles of power system operation, ability to analyse different modes of operation of power systems, mastering techniques for optimisation of the power system operation in order to minimise operating costs, energy losses and/or gas emission with satisfied constrains of operational parameters.
11. Course Syllabus: Power system operation – introduction and basic concept. Consumption and load characteristics. Daily load diagrams and their approximation. Operating costs of generators in thermal power plants. General problem of economic dispatch – optimal operation of the power system consisted of thermal power plants. System without transmission network. System with power losses in the transmission network. Transmission network modelling. Node-voltage analysis. AC transmission network power flow model. DC transmission network power flow model. Relationship between branch powers and generator powers. Optimal operation of the power system consisted of thermal power plants and transmission network modeled with DC model. Operation of the power system in conditions of insufficient production-transmission capacities of the system. Interconnected power systems. Calculation of cross-border transmission capacities. Security criteria for operation of the transmission networks. Distribution factors. Optimal power flow – optimal operation of the power system consisted of thermal power plants and transmission network and modeled with the AC model. Unit commitment problem – without and with constraints of the transmission network. Coordination of the operation of thermal and hydro power plants in the system. Probabilistic simulation of the power system operation. Application of tools in MATLAB and Python for solving optimization problems from the power system operation.
12. Learning methods: Teaching the theoretical part of the course, exercises on practical examples, interactivity on classes, consultations and homework/project assignments.

19. Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Regular attendance at lectures and exercises
20. Forms of assessment During the semester, there are two mid/end-term partial exams (120 min each). Besides these exams, any student must complete and submit the required homework/project assignments, according to the schedule published at the course web site. For the students that will not be successful at the partial exams there is additional opportunity to do final exam (180 min.).
The final mark is determined from the weighted average of scores from the exams and homework/project assignments.
During the exams, it is allowed to use literature in printed form. Calculators are allowed, but not mobile phones, tablets or similar electronic devices.
