OVERVIEW

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.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

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.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

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

PREREQUISITES

A good knowledge of electric power plants, automatic controls and power systems/electric machines modeling is strongly recommended

TEACHING METHODS

Combination of traditional lectures (approx. 30 hours) with simulations done both with general purpose codes and power systems oriented ones (approx. 30 hours)

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

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 realistic test bed facilities
