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
Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering or science.
Required preliminary courses
None.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge
On successful completion of the course, the student:
- is at the forefront of knowledge about smart energy systems, both at the system level and at the specific component/application level.
- understands what different technologies can be used at what level in energy generation, transmission, distribution and consumption networks.
- knows about communication technologies and their performance limits for enabling energy intelligence in smart energy systems.
Skills
On successful completion of the course, the student can:
- solve resource optimisation problems for the energy information network.
- apply optimisation techniques and machine learning-based approaches for residential demand response management and vehicle-to-grid.
General competence
On successful completion of the course, the student can:
- communicate and collaborate with experts from other disciplines on larger interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research projects.
- Recognise and assess a project's potential and value
- participate in debates and communicate results through recognised international channels, such as academic conferences.
- can construct and develop relevant models and discuss the model's validity.
- Disseminate knowledge to broader audiences
Teaching and learning methods
Module 1 and 2 will take the form of a series of lectures. Module 3 will be a combination of hands-on sessions along with the project assignment.
Practical training
The students will solve specific problems using optimisation or machine learning techniques. The students will submit a brief report with results for the problem in the assignment, also describing the process they used for solving the assignment, including the code.
Course requirements
None.
Assessment
The results for the project assignment, process description, and the code will be assessed by the course leader. The exam can be appealed.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
All aids are permitted.
Grading scale
Pass or fail.
Examiners
One examiner. External examiner is used periodically.
