DISTRIBUTED GENERATIONSyllabus

1.A. Power System Operation

Electric grid introductionSupply guarantee and power qualityStabilityEffects of renewable energy into the gridBoundaries of the actual grid configurationConsumption models and patterns. Demand Side Management

1.B. Distributed Generation DefinitionIntegration in power systemsDistributed generation advantages and needs

Learning outcomes

Due to the different origins of the students, in this first subject basic theory andpractical knowledge about the electric energy will be taught in order to unify theirstarting point and making it easier for them to apply the later concepts. Distribution,stability, power grid quality concepts will be revised as well as the effects of renewable

energy into the grid. The concept of distributed generation is as well introduced.
