COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Electric power systems throughout the world are facing radical change stimulated by the pressing need to decarbonise electricity supply, to replace ageing assets and to make effective use of rapidly developing information and communication technologies. These aims all converge in the Smart Grid. This course is designed to study about smart grid technologies, wide area monitoring, phasor measurement unit, smart metering and integration of renewable energy sources in smart grid and related case studies.

COURSE DURATION: 4 Weeks
COURSE OUTCOMES:

By the end of this course, the learners will be able to
    • Explain the concepts and technologies of infrastructure in the Smart Power Grid architecture.
