Smart Grid Control and Operation

  • Electrical & Control Engineering |

Description

This course explains the concept of the smart grid as an electrical grid which includes a variety of operational and energy measures including smart meters, smart appliances, and energy efficiency resources. Electronic power conditioning and control of the production and distribution of electricity are also explained.
Cross-disciplinary subjects on smart grids that relate to energy generation, transmission, distribution, and delivery as well as theories, technologies, design, policies, and implementation of smart grids are detailed. Smart sensing, communication, and control in energy systems advanced metering infrastructure energy management in buildings and home automation smart grid applications to plug-in vehicles and low-carbon transportation alternatives micro-grids and distributed energy resources demand response and real time pricing and intelligent and outage management systems Automation and integration utility and smart grids.
