Objectives
In
the last decades, electric power systems undertook several modifications
toward a more decentralized energy system paradigm, allowing the increase
of DG levels. Special attention should now be given to microgeneration
that consists in small and modular generation units, in the range of a
few tens of kW or even less, directly connected to LV distribution networks.
Microgeneration can offer substantial environmental benefits through the
integration of renewable forms of energy, such as wind or solar. Connection
of microsources can also bring significant benefits to power system operation
in terms of loss reduction and reliability improvement. Future grid reinforcements
and expansion can also be deferred. However, large scale integration of
microgeneration cannot take place without the introduction of a new control
and management concept – the microgrid. A microgrid is defined as
a set of microgeneration units, loads (some with a responsive characteristic),
storage devices and a hierarchical-type management and control scheme
supported by a communication infrastructure. The microgrid is a key piece
for the development of the SmartGrid concepts.
This course intends to provide expertise on microgeneration and microgrids
control and management for normal and emergency modes of operation, as
well as on the global technical, economic and environmental impacts of
the adoption of the microgrids concept. Practical experiences with microgeneration
and microgrids will be addressed also in the course.
Coordinators
Prof.
João Abel Peças Lopes (jplopes@inescporto.pt)
João
A. Peças Lopes is Associate Professor with Aggregation at the Faculty
of Engineering, where he teaches in the graduation and post-graduation
areas. He is one of the coordinators of INESC Porto Power System Unit.
Prof. Peças Lopes was responsible by INESC Porto activities in
several EU financed research projects and namely the project - MICROGRIDS
- Large Scale Integration of Micro Generation to Low Voltage Grids and
MORE_MICROGRIDS - Advanced Architectures and Control Concepts for More
Microgrids.
He supervised several consulting projects related with the impact analysis
of the connection of wind parks in the electrical power systems of Madeira
island, Azores islands and in the islands of Sal, S. Vicente and S. Tiago
in the Republic of Cabo Verde. He was the responsible for several consultancy
projects related with the impact evaluation resulting from the connection
of large wind parks in the Portuguese electrical grid.
He was also responsible for a project with the Transmission System Operator
of Brazil (ONS) for the development the technical and commercial rules
for the integration of independent generation from renewable power sources
in distribution and transmission networks.
He was also the Chair of the Selection Committee of the public tender
that decided about the integration of new 1800 MW of wind generation in
Portugal, launched by the Portuguese government in 2005.
He is member of the Executive board of the EES/UETP consortium and chair
of its course program committee.
His main domains of research are presently related with large scale integration
of renewable power sources in power systems (namely wind generation),
power system dynamics, microgeneration and microgrids.
