The course aims at consolidating the previous concepts of power systems and at applying them to realistic cases thanks to the use of dedicated softwares.
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.
As this is a course in the last year of the MSc. in electric engineering, the main expectation is that the students will be able to connect the pieces of information gained in the different power systems courses in order to solve problems relevant to the realistic traditional and up-to-date electric networks
A good knowledge of electric power plants, automatic controls and power system/electric machines modeling is strongly recommended
Combination of traditional lectures (approx. 25 hours) with simulations done both with general purpose codes and power systems oriented ones (approx. 25 hours)
Theory and Simulation of traditional power systems:
Steady-state analysis, Harmonics, power quality, electromechanical and electromagnetic transients
Integration of Renewable energy sources: controls, grid codes and standards analysis.
Microgrids: energy management systems, islanded networks. Application to the test bed facility Smart Polygeneration Microgrid located at the Savona Campus

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).

Report on the exercises done in the semester and oral discussion, whose duration is around 1 hour.
A simple case to be solved with Powerfactory and an oral question on a power system test case are proposed
