Course Goals (acquired competencies): The objective of the course is to gain competences related to Smart Grids, their characteristics, operation and technical and economic impact to the power systems. The aim is to develop an understanding of the various Smart Grids concepts as microgrids, virtual power plants, demand side management.
11. Course Syllabus: Distributed generation (DG) in power systems, the reasons for their integration and major problems related to DG integration on distribution networks. Technical impacts of DG. Terminology and definitions for Smart Grids. Differences among distribution systems with high DG penetration (active networks) and Smart Grids. Smart grids developments – key technologies on transmission and distribution level. The role of DG and consumers in Smart Grids. Principles of operation and control of Smart Grids, advanced control algorithms. Smart Grids applications – developments of microgrids, virtual power plants, electric vehicles, smart home.
