Skills to be acquired in this module
After successful completion of the module students should be able to
  • explain the management, power balancing and the provision of ancillary services within future electricity grid configurations with high shares of fluctuating and distributed generation
  • perform power system simulation with related software tools
  • describe different grid-designs, including mini- and microgrids
  • compare different markets for electricity (Futures' Market, Day-Ahead-Market, Intraday-Market, Balancing Power Market, Self-Consumption) and assess the suitability of these concepts for promoting the implementation of higher shares of fluctuating distributed power generation within the electricity grid.
  • explain the technical principles and resulting limiting factors of concepts and components required for power control within "Smart City", "Smart Grid", and "Smart Home" concepts.
Module contents
Future Power Supply Systems:
  • Technology and characteristics of conventional power plants based e. g. on coal, gas, and nuclear,
  • Fundamentals, structure, technologies and operation of (AC-) electricity grids (incl. balancing power, voltage management, etc.),
  • Fluctuating distributed generation: Characteristics and solutions on the transmission and distribution grid levels, incl. storage, vehicle-to-grid-concepts, smart inverters, heat pumps / CHP, etc,
  • Interactions between technology and economics: The different electricity markets (Futures Market, Day-Ahead-Market, Intraday-Market, Balancing Power Market, Self-Consumption) and their links to the physical world,
  • "Smart City", "Smart Grid", "Smart Home",
  • Mini- and Micro-Grids,
  • Energy scenarios and modelling,
  • Chemical energy carriers in the energy system: power-togas (e.g. methane) and power-to-liquids (e.g.methanol)
