Aims of the teaching

This course aims at introducing the fundamental concepts of energy management strategies in both centralized, decentralised and distributed modes and related control/command issues. ​Course content:
Modelling and control of power electronic converter used as interface converter between renewable energy sources (PV plant, wind farm, Fuel Cell,..) and DC / AC microgrids, power flow calculation in microgrids, centralized - distributed control strategies applied to microgrids, hierarchical control strategies
Keynotes lectures on microgrid applications delivered by guest scholars

Intended Learning outcomes (measured by the assessment)

At the end of the course, students should:
Demonstrate knowledge both on the connection of renewable energy sources into the electrical grid and energy management strategies applied to microgrids;
Demonstrate ability to understand, use, analyse, model and control the energy flows in microgrids.
