| Description/Outcomes | The main objective of this course is to give participants up-to-date knowledge about the technical and economical issues relating to the distributed generation. In addition to an introduction to various generating technologies, a more detailed part will be included discussing various applications of power electronics. The impacts of distributed generation to the distribution system will also be presented. The focus is on electrical issues like grid connection, protection, control, and power quality. In addition to these the economical and regulatory questions will be briefly discussed. |
