No prerequisites are required, however basic electrotechnical skills are required and will be provided.
The course aims to provide the tools for the design of Micro grids (industrial and commercial buildings, residential, hospitals, etc.) so as to guarantee an energy balance between production and demand. This also through the use of different software, which also allow remote and / or automatic control and monitoring.
A path that addresses innovation in the field of electrical systems starting from the description of what the electricity grid of the future will be, an intelligent network that allows you to manage the energy of different sources where and when it is needed for efficient, safe and eco friendly.
The course will cover the following topics:
1. Smart Grid, management of bidirectional energy and data flows, through IoT ICTs, Distributed Generation and influence of renewable sources. Monitoring, control and communication systems for Smart Grids and Micro Grids.
2. Demand Side Management: technologies for managing the electrical load, through the interactions of Prosumers (PRODUCERS and CONSUMERS at the same time) with intelligent measurement systems, for the flexibility of demand and the impact of demand management on Prosumers' choices.
3. Advanced Smart Metering: smart meters.
4. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Vehicle to Home (V2H): exchange of energy from vehicle batteries with smart grids, optimization of electric charging.
5. Smart Appliances and electrical storage: connected and controllable appliances and storage in an electrical load management system
6. Blockchain: smart contracts on the energy market between smart grids, smart meters and connected devices.
7. 7. Lighting management: lighting project.
Lessons, laboratories.
Draft containing a practical application of building automation or smart home systems.
