| Objectives
The general trend in modern power systems
is to increase competition in order to achieve better performance and
efficiency in the electricity production, transmission and distribution.
In the competitive electrical energy market the role of transmission systems
becomes more important, since it must enable the competition. Therefore,
strategies must be developed to insure that the system will be able to
optimally utilise its facilities since it will experience an increase
in the number of energy sales and purchases.
In the competitive electrical energy market,
several players have access to the transmission systems even though in
a regulated way. Next to the traditional thermal and large hydroelectric
plants, these players include producers based on renewable energy sources
(like wind) and aggregate distributed generators. This means that the
commercial and the energy/power transactions through the transmission
systems become more and more frequent tasks, superimposing the original
system task aimed at feeding the load demand.
The task of quickly and
accurately evaluating the merits of transactions is becoming an important
function of utility system planners and operators. This is because it
affects vital system attributes (security, adequacy, quality, etc.), puts
a strain on the existing transmission system and may restrict the economic
dispatching of power generation. Furthermore, the reliability performance
of the transmission system together with the reliability indices of service
supplied to system customers constitute one of the major aspects that
are taken into account in the system planning and operating phases.
It
is therefore evident that there is a need for planning and operating considerations
that must be followed by the transmission system operators, energy suppliers
and customers in order to assure that they will be able to operate reliably
and safely together.
All the above aspects need a probabilistic
modelling and evaluation assessment since the existing deterministic criteria
and standards can not simulate realistically all the existing features
of transmission systems and their customers. The objective of the seminar
is to identify the most important areas that need probabilistic modelling
and evaluation assessment and present:
- the state of the art knowledge of the existing computational methods
- efficient computational methods that can be applied for the analysis
of the respective problems (analytical techniques, simulation approaches,
artificial intelligence methods)
- application examples by using practical transmission systems and case
studies
- important conclusions concerning the necessary procedures and practices
for the planning and operation of transmission systems in the new market
environment.
The
instructors of the seminar have significant teaching and research experiences
in the respective areas of concern.
Coordinators
Prof.
Evagellos Dialynas (dialynas@power.ece.ntua.gr)
Prof. Evagellos Dialynas received the Diploma in Electrical and Mechanical
Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens and the MSc
and PhD degrees in Power Systems from the University of Manchester Institute
of Science and Technology (UMIST) in England. From 1984 he is working
at the Power Division of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
of the National Technical University of Athens, where he is full professor
since 1996.
His
main activities are concentrated in the areas of reliability analysis
of engineering systems, statistical quality control and quality assurance
and analysis of electrical power systems. During this period, he has taught
various courses related to his areas of interest. He has been the organiser
of two undergraduate courses concerning the reliability modelling of engineering
systems and in particular electrical power systems. He has also been one
of the organisers of two additional postgraduate courses concerning the
probabilistic analysis of energy systems and power quality. For these
courses, he has written two books and three sets of notes.
Furthermore,
during the same period, he has conducted scientific and applied research.
His interests are the development of methodologies for evaluating the
reliability performance and economic operation of engineering systems
in general and more specifically for the energy supply systems. He has
been the supervisor of more than ninety projects conducted by undergraduate
and postgraduate students.
Finally, he has been the scientific coordinator
and the main researcher in many research projects financed by national
and international programmes and organisations. As a result of his research
activities, he has written more than 70 papers published in international
technical journals after review and more than 100 papers presented in
various international conferences and published in their proceedings.
Prof.
E. Dialynas has been an active member of CIGRE and has participated in
its international and national activities. He is a Distinguished member
and the Greek Member of Study Committee C1 while he has been a member
of various CIGRE Working Groups and Task Forces. He has been a member
of the Administrative Council of the Greek National Committee for CIGRE
for more than 20 years and its Chairman for more than four years.
He is
also a Senior Member of IEEE and a member of working groups. He is a member
of IET (former IEE) and has participated in the activities of its section
in Greece as well as the organisation of the MedPower conference. He has
been an active member of several technical committees and working groups
of the Technical Chamber of Greece, a member of organizing committees
for various workshops, seminars and conferences and a reviewer in technical
journals. He has served as a member of the Administrative Council of the
Transmission System Operator (DESMIE) in Greece.
Prof.
Nikos Hatziargyriou (nh@corfu.power.ece.ntua.gr)
Prof. Nikos Hatziargyriou received the Diploma in Electrical and Mechanical
Engineering from NTUA (National Technical University of Athens) and the
MSc and PhD degrees from UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of
Science and Technology), Manchester, England.
From
1984 he is with the Power Division of the School of Electrical and Computer
Engineering of NTUA, where he is full professor, since 1995. He is teaching
Power System Analysis (Steady State and Transient Conditions) and Renewable
Energy Sources. He is elected Vice-president of PPC (Public Power Corporation)
and member of its Administrative Council.
He
is also:
• Member of the EU Advisory Council of the Technology Platform on
Future Power Systems (SmartGrids), chairman of the Working Group on “Generation
and Storage”.
• Member of the CIGRE (Conference Internationale des Grands Reseaux
Electriques a Haute Tension), Greek Member of Study Committee C6 "Distribution
Systems and Dispersed Generation" and convener of Working Group WGC6.04
“Connection and Protection Practices for Dispersed Generation”,
etc.
• Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE), member of the Power Engineering and Computer Societies and member
of several subcommittees and working groups of IEEE.
• Vice-chair of the Power System Dynamic Performance Committee of
IEEE.
• For many years Chairman of the IEEE Greek Power Chapter and currently
chairman of the IEEE Greece Section.
• He has served as Vice-president of the “Centre of Renewable
Energy Sources” (CRES).
Prof.
Hatziargyriou has significant research experience with participation in
more than 60 R&DD Projects, in many of them as scientific responsible.
He is author of two books and more than 250 publications in international
magazines and conference proceedings.
