Description of the course

Distribution grids for electrical energy are facing numerous new requirements and challenges caused by increased amount of installations of distributed generation as well as new loads. Besides the general fact that these devices increase (and DGs even reverse) the power flows significantly causing the need for grid extensions in the distribution grid, another aspect is that fluctuating energy sources make the power flows highly volatile. New technologies become available which provide new opportunities to face these challenges. All these aspects can be summarized under the label “Smart Grids”. Related to Smart Grids there are so called “Smart Market” activities, which create values by managing loads and DG to provide market products.

The first objective, which will be dealt with on the first day of the course, is to understand the impact of new Smart Grid technologies and Smart Market activities on distribution grid planning and to learn how to model these devices/activities in the planning process. The second objective (day two) is to learn about modern planning tools that consider the new challenges of distribution grid planning. The third objective of this course (day three) is to understand how planning of new grids should be combined with asset management to gain mutual benefits from the investments in new grid infrastructure.
