EEEN71356 Smart Grids & Sustainable Electricity Systems (Smart Grids) 15 Full year Postgraduate Taught Level 7 Haiyu Li Unit coordinator Alessandra Parisio Unit coordinator Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 <div> Electrical power systems and the challenges facing them are rapidly changing. This unit explores the main concepts behind smart grids and low carbon networks, two prominent changes in power systems. It allows students to know, or calculate, the impact of some of these current and future changes. More so than other units the focus here is on environmental concerns as well as the technical and economic (the energy trilemma).</div>  <div> Distributed low carbon technologies Introduction to distribution networksDistributed generation: impacts and challengesElectric vehicles: impacts and challengesPhotovoltaic panels: impacts and challengesOther technologies: storage, smart appliances, etc. Smart Grids Distributed generation and active network managementPresent and future challenges for T&DIntroduction to smart gridsSmart grids - transmission and distribution perspectivesDemand side management Sustainable Electricity Systems Towards low-carbon networksIntroduction to low carbon thermal generation (nuclear, Carbon Capture and Storage, bio diesel, biomass)Renewable Energy: system level integration challenges (operational reserves, impact on conventional generation, capacity credit)Emission models and indicatorsIntroduction to multi-generation (cogeneration, micro CHP, waste heat recovery, tri-generation, heat storage, heat networks)Electrification of heating: introduction to electric heat pumpsDecarbonisation of transportContribution from demand side management to low carbon system operation</div>  <div> Electrical power systems and the challenges facing them are rapidly changing. This unit explores the main concepts behind smart grids and low carbon networks, two prominent changes in power systems. It allows students to know, or calculate, the impact of some of these current and future changes. More so than other units the focus here is on environmental concerns as well as the technical and economic (the energy trilemma).</div>  On successful completion of this course unit, students will be able to:ILO1:  Describe what is meant by smart grids and explain the drivers and challenges of low carbon technologies* ILO2:  Review published research related to smart grids ILO3:  Model a variety of distribution systems with varying levels of generation/demand flexibility and low carbon technologies* ILO4:  Evaluate the technical, environmental, and economic impact of flexibility and low carbon technologies**(low carbon technologies include PV, EV, storage, CHP, and active network management)   <div> This unit is delivered entirely via part-time distance learning, including assessment. The unit runs for 10 weeks, with a total of 150h of student work  split into 6 sections. There are some fixed events, such as coursework deadlines, exams, and weekly tutorials but much of the course can be done at a pace that fits the student. Each section consists of:- An overview of the material, presenting the current learning objectives.- Explanatory material (~5h of student activity/section) in the form of video lectures, papers/articles, the course text, and links to further resources.- Exercises (~5h/ section). These are formative, with feedback given in the tutorial.- Discussion (~1h/ section). Students are encouraged to discuss the exercises and material in the forums where tutors will facilitate peer learning, providing feedback/input if necessary.- Tutorial (~1h/week). Students will video conference with their tutor in groups of 6-8 to discuss and give/receive feedback. In addition to the planned activities there is also private study (~50h for the unit) consisting of:- Revision- Coursework- Further practice- Independent/further study</div>  0 Other 30% 2 Written assignment (inc essay) 25% 3 Report 45%    <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 234px"> Assessment task</td> <td style="width: 161px"> Length</td> <td style="width: 151px"> How and when feedback is provided</td> <td style="width: 95px"> Weighting within unit (if relevant) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 234px">  - Literature Review- HV Project Report- LV Project Report </td> <td style="width: 161px"> Max 2500 wordsMax 10 pagesMax 10 pages</td> <td style="width: 151px"> Written commentsWritten commentsWritten comments</td> <td style="width: 95px"> 254530</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>   Elec Power Systems Eng (DL) Elec Power Systems Eng (DL) PGDT Dissertation Mandatory N  The core texts for the unit are:  <ul> <li> Bollen, Math HJ.
