Course contents :
|
| The course deals with Energy Management Systems (EMS). It first examines the hardware and communication infrastuctures. Then, the main software functions for power system real time operation are explored. The course covers the following topics.
- Power system control centers : functions and architecture
- Data acquisition : SCADA system, RTUs, PMUs
- State estimation: weighted least squares estimator, observability analysis, bad data analysis, topology errors.
- Short-term load forecasting
- Real-time security analysis
- Functional optimization: economic dispatch, unit commitment, optimal power flow.

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, the student will have acquired an understanding of the structure and essential functions of an Energy Management System. He will also master the computation methods dealing with power system operating point optimization, taking into account both security and economy constraints. The student will be able to master and analyse a scientific publication dealing with a general topic covered in the course. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
