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.
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.
