10.    Course Goals (acquired competencies):  The course is developed to provide basic knowledge of the principles of  Smart Grids, their characteristics, operation and technical and economic impact to the power systems.

11.    Course Syllabus: Dispersed generation (DG) integration and problems of DG integration into distribution systems. Technical impacts of DG on the distribution systems. Smart Grids concept and definitions. Differences between distributed networks with high DG penetration and Smart Grids. Smart Grids development – technologies on transmission and distribution level. Role of DG and consumers in Smart Grids. Smart Grids control (centralized vs decentralized approach). Control hierarchy. Advanced control algorithms. Implementation of distribution management systems (DMS) and SCADA in Smart Grids. Smart Grids concepts: microgrids, virtual power plants, electric vehicles, Smart House.
