Summary
Smart grids are a new way of designing and managing electrical power electrical networks and power systems. They are essential for increasing the share of renewable energy sources and enhancing the effectiveness, reliability and security of the distribution of electricity (using the distribution electrical systems). The smart grids studies aim towards systemic thinking in combination with new available technologies and analysis skills. Smart grids constitute a confluence of, on the one hand, the need to improve the integration of Distributed Generation (DG), especially the different sources of renewable energy for electricity production, and, on the other, the potential applications of new technologies for the advanced control of electrical networks. Identified and studied key technologies are: - Power electronic converters based energy production units, - Advanced algorithms for energy management system and decision based support., - Storage systems, - Demand response. These technologies give new means for increasing the flexibility of the energy management. The intelligence is arising from their use by new algorithms for optimizing the production, distribution and consumption of electricity, in order to obtain a better local balance between new means of electricity supply and new energy demand (electric vehicle charging, ￜ).

Comments: Content :
This Unit contains five parts
1) Actual distribution scheme of electricity to consumer (8hTEP)
a) Global energy resources, technologies and Comparative Energy Systems
This lecture provides a short general overview of various energy systems on a global scale as well as a comparison of energy consumption in correlation to GDP, industry, and recent growth.)
b)Today's Electric Power System
This lecture focuses on electric power systems, grid architecture, and transmission systems. Baseload units and peaking units are compared, as are various market models, and state and federal regulations) The aim of this course is to provide the student with the fundamental foundations on power systems that allow him to tackle more advanced concepts.

3) New challenges of electrical systems for energy transition (10hTEP)
a) Introduction to climate change and decarbonization
b) Renewables in the energy mix
introduction to intermittence
Sustainability - Are renewables always sustainable?
Scheduling of the renewable energy
c) Large scale integration of renewable energy sources and arising problems
4) What are smart grids and what are they supposed to do ? (14hTEP)
a) Introduction to climate change and decarbonization
b) Tomorrow's Electric Power System
This lecture focuses on future challenges that await grid technology on the policy, economic, and technological fronts. R&D and dynamic pricing are offered as avenues toward solutions, though the primary issues still rests in policy and regulation.
c) Smart Grid Technology Overview for Energy transition
This course will provide a broad overview of all components and technologies associated with, and connected to, the new Smart Grid. The specific knowledge to be covered are:
- Power electronics based energy production units, such as small wind and solar power plants, that can participate to the electrical system management (voltage/frequency control). Participation of Variable renewable to electrical system management. Integrating Renewable Generation into Grid Operations
- Advanced algorithms for energy management system and decision based support. Continuous measurements in the network provide detailed information about the use of electricity, i.e., when and where electricity is used. This new and available data based knowledge is used to design more efficient algorithms for operation and plannning power systems. I&T. Big data.
- Demand response. A significant part of loads can be controlled as necessary. The aim is to level out peak loads by shifting network load or, for example (by switching off the heating of a single-family house for one hour during a peak load).
- Storage systems for providing network services (as example : levelling out peak loads, batteries are charged during off-peak times and during peak loads they supply electricity to the network).
