The course provides an overview of planning and operating power systems, mainly distribution networks. In particular, the course covers the planning process and the network procedure for effective grid operation, both in healthy working conditions and after a contingency. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of procedures devoted to fostering an efficient design, operation, and protection of power systems and, simultaneously, the security and quality of service. In addition, an overview of the distribution networks' expected evolution through the deployment of ICT infrastructures, loads and distributed generations flexibility, sector coupling, the massive electrification of end-uses etc.. will be explored.
The course aims to develop students' capabilities in understanding the main issues of power grid planning and operation, discussing technical and scientific topics on power grid-related problems, reading and understanding specialistic documents related to grid planning and operation, and roughly identifying issues and solutions. Furthermore, the students will be able to identify necessary data and elaborate on them to obtain results using software such as Excel, Python, and QGIS, and to discuss the results critically, providing directions to the solution and obtaining sensitivities on the parameters. Assessment of the proposed solutions will also be a part of the knowledge provided by the course.
