After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand and deal with the complicated interdependencies existing within the Smart Grids. They learn to treat Smart Grids holistically. They can immediately be involved in projects that adapt the power industry to the requirements of climate change.
Smart grid from grid perspective; Reactive power dependencies within the Smart Grids; Popular control strategies in power systems such as primary and secondary control; Grid codes; Integration of distributed generation and storage; Differences between European and North American power grids; Fractal principles in smart grids; Centralized and decentralized smart grid architectures; Holistic approach of energy systems; Smart grids design according to fractal principles; Integration of energy systems; Energy communities; Smart Grid concepts such as virtual power plants, microgrids, etc.
