Course overview

The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the integration of renewable power generation into modern electric power grids. This includes the processes involved in integrating renewable energy systems into power networks, the general design of renewable energy systems, connection requirements for renewable energy sources, the role and types of energy storage, and the impacts of high renewable energy penetration on electric power systems.

  • Photovoltaics
  • DG Economics & Wind Energy
  • Energy Storage

Course learning outcomes

  • Describe the role, evolution, and future pathways of renewable energy technologies in modern power systems
  • Develop mathematical models of photovoltaic and wind energy systems and evaluate their characteristics from a design perspective.
  • Analyse regulatory, technical and economic considerations for integrating distributed generation into power networks and summarise the connection standards.
  • Analyse different types of energy storage technologies and their effects on a simplified power system.
  • Explain the effect of increasing renewable system penetration on the traditional power system network operation
