ECE 2795 Microgrid Concepts and Distributed Generation Technologies

Prerequisites: Fundamentals of power electronics and power systems or consent from the instructor.Familiarity with at least one computer simulation software.

Reference Textbook(s): The reference textbook is: G. Masters, Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems
In addition of the book, the course will use selected scientific and engineering papers, and articles from professional magazines as reference material.

Course Description and objectives: This course describes fundamental concepts related with the development of microgrids and the integration of distributed generation. Technical topics are divided inthree modules. The first module introduces microgrid components and discusses the main types of micrsources. The second module focuses on energy storage technologies. The third module include system integration topics, such as power electronics interfaces; dc and ac architectures; economics, operation, stabilization, and control; reliability aspects; grid interconnection, and microgrids as part of "smart” grids. This course also aims at preparing students to conduct research or helping them to improve their research skills.
