Course description
The behaviour of existing electrical grid changes very fast and requires dynamic platforms to
address the peculiarities related to increased penetration from renewable energy sources, possible
inclusion of electric vehicles, ensuring energy security, open access and deregulation. The grid
should be resilient enough to behave smartly. The time has come for the existing electric grid to
become a smart grid by incorporating dynamic platforms of communication technologies
superimposing over the existing electricity infrastructure. The course provides a platform for deep
understanding of smart features of an electric grid.
Course objectives
This course provides knowledge about
Smart electric power grids, including definition, design criteria, technology and IoT.
Information processing and communications to the power grid.
Understanding the development of the smart grid,
Smart grid design, implementation, evaluation and management of smart electricity
infrastructure.
