CODE 86634 ACADEMIC YEAR 2016/2017 CREDITS 12 cfu anno 1 ENERGY ENGINEERING 10170 (LM-30) - SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/33 TEACHING LOCATION MODULES Questo insegnamento è composto da: POWER SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT POWER SYSTEMS MODELLING AND CONTROL OVERVIEW The technical & economic management of new power systems relying on renewables, storage units and low emissions fossil fuel trigeneration sources is a fundamental skill of an Energy Engineer interested to devolp her/his future career in the industrial or institutional sectors or as a freelance working on Sustainable Energy issues. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES POWER SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT The course is designed to provide theoretical and methodological skills for the economic analyses related to the development of projects in the sustainable energy sector. In this context, it encompasses the fundamentals of energy markets, the procedures to calculate high efficiency cogeneration and the levelized cost of electricity. A special focus is devoted to new power production and distribution infrastructures such as smart grids and smart microgrids, with specific insight concerning with energy management platforms. POWER SYSTEM MODELLING AND CONTROL The course is designed to provide the theoretical and methodological skills necessary for the understanding of the most important problems of modern electrical power systems, with particular reference to the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and the impact that the change in the characteristics of the generating units determines in the electrical network management. The course, with strong interactive features, is proposed to support theoretical lectures with a large "experiential" part in which, through the use of dedicated software, the student can apply personally what learnt during the theoretical explanations. TEACHING METHODS Theoretical lectures with specific case studies to be solved in order to fix all the concepts. Theroretical lectures and exercises with dedicated software SYLLABUS/CONTENT POWER SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT Administrative and authorization procedures to install renewable power plants; - the Energy Markets; feed-in tariff and quota system incentives; mechanisms for selling energy; - Renewable Energy for Heating & Cooling Support Scheme; - Cogeneration and Trigeneration systems (technical issues and legislation); - Emission Trading Systems; - Investment analysis in the Sustainable Energy sector; - Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE); - SEU (Efficient Systems of Users) & RIU (Internal Networks of Users); - Basics of “smart power grids”; - Microgrids: definitions, components; - Energy Management Systems; - Electric storage systems and e-mobility. POWER SYSTEM MODELLING AND CONTROL The structure of the overall power electric system (transmission networks, distribution networks, utilization) Overview of the main traditional components of the electrical system (generators, transformers, motors, transmission lines, breakers, surge arresters) Analysis of steady-state power systems: the Load Flow problem Power System Optimization: the Optimal Power Flow problem; economic and environmental optimization. Traditional power system regulations: the frequency/active power regulation and the reactive power/voltage control Power quality issues: FACTS and custom power devices Integration of renewable energy sources to the electricity grid (photovoltaic and wind) with particular reference to the analysis of standards and grid codes. Development of simple control algorithms for the optimized management of smart grids. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY POWER SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT and POWER SYSTEM MODELLING AND CONTROL - Documents provided by the teacher; The following volumes: - Fundamentals of Power System Economics, Daniel Kirschen, Goran Strbac, 2004, Wiley; - Microgrids: Control and Operation, Josep Guerrero, Juan Vasquez, 2015, Wiley-IEEE; - Power System Stability and Control, Prabha Kundur, 1994, McGraw-Hill Professional. TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD RENATO PROCOPIO Ricevimento: Appointment with phone call or email. FEDERICO DELFINO Ricevimento: The students can always meet the teacher outside the classroom in order to ask for some clarifications or integrations with respect to the concepts explained during the lessons, provided that they fix an appointment directly with the teacher (reference phone and e-mail are given to the students during the first lesson of the course). Exam Board FEDERICO DELFINO (President) RENATO PROCOPIO (President) STEFANO BRACCO LESSONS LESSONS START February 2017 Class schedule The timetable for this course is available here: Portale EasyAcademy EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION Written and oral examination. ASSESSMENT METHODS The assessment strategy is based firstly on the continuous interaction with all the students attending the lessons, especially during the resolution of practical case studies, then it is quantitatively carried out by means of the evaluation of the student during the written & oral examination.
