Smart Grids (SG) are the new paradigm in energy production and management which brings as much opportunities for building an energy efficiency society as it raises technical challenges. In a SG a large number of independent agents (from independent power producers to the individual customers) can make independent decisions and control actions, the data available for this decision making is scattered, and the operating conditions can vary widely and rapidly. Adaptation based only on local data available for each agent is thus a necessary system requirement. This MSc project consists in the design and performance evaluation of DD control and decision making for the operation of Distributed Generators (DG) in SGs.
The student will follow courses on Linear Systems, Power Systems Analysis and System Identification. Her/his work will include simulating SG’s with DG under different operating conditions and the design of DD controllers for power generators and smart grid network devices.
