Course Title: Smart Grid
Type of Course: Optional, Theory
Offered to: EEE
Pre-requisite Course(s): None
Smart grid: two way communication; distributed energy resources (DERs) - DG (distributed generation) and ES (energy storage); high power density batteries, EV (electric vehicles) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles); smart sensors, meters and appliances at demand side.
Data communication channels; protocols; TCP/IP; IEEE 802 series wireless LANs: bluetooth, Zigbee, WiMax; wired LANs- Ethernet, PSTN, PLC (Power Line Carrier); cyber security.
Smart meters and AMI (advanced metering infrastructure): construction; standards for information exchange- Modbus, DNP3 and IEC61850; interfacing with HAN, NAN, WAN.
Power electronic interfaces between grid and DERs.
Demand side integration (DSI): DSM; real time pricing; ancillary markets; DR (demand response) for load shaping, frequency and voltage control, energy efficiency.
Microgrids, self healing and restoration.
To provide the students with the knowledge on the important features of emerging power systems.
To enable the students to build up concepts for integrating distributed energy resources including renewable energy sources, storage devices including electric vehicles, interfacing those with conventional grid, considering consumers’ real time feedback, forming micro grids during system disturbances.
Fundamental understanding of concepts of Power electronics, Digital communication, and Power System I.
