Smart Grids Operation and Economics

The course aims to expose learners to the operation of smart grids and power systems. The course focuses on the need to keep an equilibrium between the desire to operate and plan as economically as possible and the need to enhance the security of the system. Accordingly, the curriculum familiarises learners with the commercial underpinnings of competition introduction into the supply and retail of electricity in addition to allowing third parties to access the distribution and transmission systems.
