Smart Grid System

The course introduces the concepts behind smart grids and future low-carbon networks. It introduces the concepts behind sustainable electricity systems as well as the main renewable and low-carbon generation technologies. Provide tools and techniques so that distributed low carbon technologies (e.g., distributed renewable generation, electric vehicles, electro-thermal technologies, etc.) may be integrated effectively into the power system in the context of both traditional grids and future smart grids.

On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• Present the fundamental concepts associated with Smart Grids
• Explain the smart grid’s structure and function
• Explain the ICT technologies for smart grid
• Review renewable energy generation, grid integration of renewable energy system and energy storage technologies
• Review the concept of intelligent building
• Review the SCADA system as a tool for smart grid implementation
• Contribute to the discussion and selection of solutions for further development of the current grid.
