Introduction to Smart Grid

ABOUT THE COURSE:

This course mainly focus on background and fundamental building blocks of smart grid with stringent emphasis on practical applications in the existing power system network. This course provides overview of smart grid and its potential in different types of power sectors such as power generation, transmission and distribution in Metro, Urban/Semi urban and remote locations of India. This also emphasizes on renewable energy source integration in present grids as well as in micro and nano grids as part of the course and explores its issues in operation, analysis, management, control, protection and monitoring. In addition to it, this further provides detailed utility level analysis in terms of energy management, network analysis and operation of renewable based smart grids.
