At the end of the lecture time

Practikal Work
A practical assignment includes the theoretical preparation, set-up and execution of a design task on the basis of a case study or the experiment as well as the written presentation of the work steps, the steps, the process and the results of the experiment and their critical evaluation.

Successfully completing this lecture will enable the students to mathematically model simple controllable  electrical generators and consumers and to simulate them together with appropriate control algorithms  within smart grid scenarios. To achieve this goal, student will start with deriving computational models  from physical models and by evaluating them. In order to manage the integration of control algorithms.  Students are taught the principles of cosimulation using the example of the "mosaik" smart grid  cosimulation framework.
Students are put into the position to understand and apply distributed, agent- based control schemes to decentralised energy generators and/or consumers. As a result, students are able  to analyze the requirements for successful application to real power balancing regarding capacity utilization, robustness, and flexibility. In addition, students practically apply the foundations for planning  and conducting simulation based experiments as well as the interpretation of the results. Attention is especially paid to a tradeoff between precision and robustness of the results and the necessary efforts (design of experiments) in order to gain as much insight into interdependencies with as few experiments.
