| Objectives
Distributed energy resources
are gaining more and more importance in distribution and they are predicted
to drastically change the whole distribution system, the digital society
requires higher quality than in the past and the environmental concerns
require improving energy efficiency. For these and many other reasons
the electricity supply network will be no longer a passive termination
of the transmission system and the concept of active network has been
recently introduced to delineate the evolution of the power delivery system.
The new electricity networks must be:
•Flexible: fulfilling customers’ needs whilst
responding to the changes and challenges ahead;
•Accessible: granting connection access to all
network users, particularly for renewable power sources and high efficiency
local generation with zero or low carbon emissions;
•Reliable: assuring and improving security and
quality of supply, consistent with the demands of the digital age with
resilience to hazards and uncertainties;
•Economic: providing best value through innovation,
efficient energy management and ‘level playing field’ competition
and regulation.
The scope of the course is to give participants a vision of the short,
medium and long term scenario by highlighting the expected evolution of
the distribution grid, the participation of DER to energy and service
markets and the DER contribution to alleviate the vulnerability of the
whole power system. Models, algorithms and tools for planning, designing
and operating the grid of the future, taking into account risks and uncertainties,
will be provided during the course as well as some practical applications.

Dr.
Fabrizio Pilo (pilo@diee.unica.it)
Fabrizio Pilo is Associate Professor of Electrical Power
Systems at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (DIEE)
of the University of Cagliari since November 2001. He was born in Sassari,
Italy, 1966. He graduated in Electrical Engineering at the University
of Cagliari in 1992 (magna cum laude), and since then he has been a research
collaborator of the Power System Group in the same University. In 1996
he became Assistant Professor at the DIEE. In 1998 he earned the Ph.D.
degree from the University of Pisa. He has been responsible for several
research contracts in the field of Power Distribution Optimization funded
by CESI, ENEL, MIUR, and by the Sardinian Regional Government. He is member
of the IEEE and AEIT, and Special Reporter of the CIRED Technical Committee.
He is author of more than 60 papers published on international journals
or presented in various national and international conferences. Current
research interests are in the field of distribution planning and optimization,
distributed generation, power quality and AI applications in Power Systems.
