Smart Energy and Smart Grids
Radoslav Vargic, Juraj Londák
Annotation

This module deals with area of smart energy. Provides basic description of the electricity grid, electricity, electricity market and related processes as grid regulation. Introduces the area of metering, covers the basic mechanical meters as well as the most modern smart meters. Informs about European union plans and state of the implementation in smart metering deployment. Also describes accompanying system solutions such as Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). Introduces the concept of a smart grid and focuses in more detail on microgrids and the concept of energy hubs.

Objectives

By studying the module, students will gain an overview in the field of smart metering and smart grid. Besides technical aspects, there are also covered basic electricity market and process aspects. The student should understand the main direction and trends how the power grid is getting smart and which direction the evolution goes.
