Course Information

Course content

The transformation from centralized to distributed energy resources brings new challenges for metering, pricing, communication, and distribution. Basically we will see a power system enhanced with information technology. This lecture gives an introduction to the key mechanism of the smart grid.                                

  • Introduction to the smart grid                                                         
  • Energy generation                                                       
  • Energy distribution networks                                                      
  • Photovoltaics and wind power                                                            
  • Energy sustainability                                                           
  • Smart microgrids                                                         
  • Smart metering and home automation                                                           
  • E-mobility                                              


Prior knowledge expected

This lecture is held in English language. This lecture will require basic maths and technical understanding at Matura level.
