Course history

Introduction

This course covers contemporary topics in smart energy systems such as smart power grid, smart buildings, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and communication technologies for and network security in smart energy systems, including emerging approaches towards energy intelligence such as machine learning and blockchain.

The course will be offered once a year, provided 5 or more students sign up for the course. If less than 5 students sign up for a course, the course will be cancelled for that year

Recommended preliminary courses

This course will contain the following topics:

  • Sampling, reconstruction and aliasing
  • Impulse response and difference equations
  • Fourier series and Fourier transform
  • Frequency analysis and frequency response
  • Transfer functions, filter design of FIR and IIR filters
  • Image presentation and processing

Required preliminary courses

None.

Learning outcomes

None

Content

The course is divided into three modules.

The first module covers lectures on economic interactions for the energy market, focusing mainly on applications such as demand response management (DRM), and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), etc.

The second module consists of lectures on current and emerging approaches such as machine learning and blockchain for energy intelligence and network security.

The third module will be a seminar which will include a hands-on session on tools such as optimisation and machine learning for solving specific problems in future energy information networks, and will conclude with a project assignment to be submitted by a given deadline.

Teaching and learning methods

Exam autumn 2021 due to Covid-19:

Individual digital home exam, 3 hours and 30 min to upload/scan.

The exam grade can be appealed.

 New/postponed exam
