The course aims to present with systemic and cross-disciplinary, methodological and technological aspects for the protection of electrical energy systems , with particular regard to new widespread and renewable generation scenario, including microgrids , the load control ( demand response ) and to storage systems.
During the course proper design aspects of protection systems are analysed.In addition, distributed generation models will be developed such as wind farms, photovoltaic plants and storage systems. The course is focused on the problems of integration between protection, control and telecommunications in light of the spread of distributed generation and the evolution of electrical distribution systems.
The course aims to present the systemic, methodological and technological aspects for the protection of electrical energy systems, with particular regard to the new scenario of widespread and renewable generation.
Attendance and active participation in the proposed training activities (lectures and laboratory activities) and individual study will allow the student to
- know in depth the main aspects of distributed generation; - know the mechanisms of energy production from renewable sources;
- identify the main differences in the design of distribution networks and related protections, in particular as regards: degree of reliability required, maximum intervention speed, appropriate degree of selectivity - apply the knowledge for the correct modeling of electrical systems in the presence of power converters; - acquire a correct terminology for the aspects of integration between protection and control, of telecommunications also in the light of the diffusion of traditional and renewable distributed generation and of the evolution of electrical distribution and industrial systems, with particular attention to MicroGrids, to storage systems , and to the direct control of the load for the purposes of protection and energy efficiency.
The course includes theoretical lessons, seminars and exercises with the development of application examples. The lessons are complemented by practical exercises and seminars on topical problems with the presentation of "test cases" (The IEC 61850 standard, Demand Side Management). Technical visits to test facilities and distribution networks where there are accumulation systems and control and protection systems are planned.
Exercises are planned in the ShIL laboratory where storage systems, programmable converters and real-time simulator are present.
The course deals with various issues on the protection and management of electrical systems, in particular:

The exam consists of a written and an oral part.
The written part is represented by a computer-based work on modeling or dimensioning aspects of electrical systems with distributed generation. The paper must be delivered at least one week before the oral exam accompanied by an explanatory report. The verification consists of an oral interview aimed at highlighting both the acquisition of the fundamental contents presented during the course and the application skills in solving operational problems. The developed paper will also be discussed in the interview.
Details on how to prepare for the homework and on the degree of detail of each topic will be given during the lessons. The homework will verify the effective acquisition of basic knowledge on some methodologies for modelling and sizing renewable production systems. The problems and open questions will allow the assessment of the ability to apply knowledge in practical situations that may occur in the laboratory. The student must be able to connect and integrate the knowledge learned during the laboratory activities with that provided during the frontal lessons.
The oral exam will mainly focus on the topics covered during the frontal lectures and will have the purpose of evaluating not only if the student has reached an adequate level of knowledge, but if he has acquired the ability to critically analyze the plant and system engineering problems that will be posted in the course of the exam.
