Students are introduced to the fundamental concepts of the smart grid development, and the tools for analysis and development of the Smart Grid. Students learn advanced techniques to deliver Smart Grid concepts such as intelligent electricity distribution networks, latest technologies used to automate such electrical networks, and cyber security issues in electrical distribution networks. Students explore interoperability of different renewable energy sources to ensure that there will be minimum changes in the existing legacy system. Students also explore cross-disciplinary overview approaches of the various topics of a Smart Grid and also current research literature and problems in Smart Grid. Prerequisite: Admission to the Graduate program in Engineering.
