Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student has the knowledge of the operation and control of power plants from renewable sources, the dynamic models of the various plants, the types of control systems, and the contribution to the supply of ancillary services. He has the ability to choose the wiring diagrams for powering the auxiliaries and protections. He has the knowledge of the criteria for the connection of the plant to the external network, both in the case of a high voltage transmission grid and in the case of a medium and low voltage distribution system.
Course contents
1. Introduction to the stability and control of electrical power systems in the energy transition
2. Dynamic model of generators
3. Electromagnetic transients in a generator
4. Electrical circuits of power plants and protections
5. Excitation system and voltage control

Teaching methods
Traditional lectures.
Assessment methods
The exam consists of a closed-book test in eol.unibo.it. The test aims at assessing the student knowledge and operational ability in relation to the key concepts illustrated during the course.
The achievement by the student of a complete knowledge of the course content and of its application to the solution of engineering problems are assessed with marks of excellence. The mnemonic knowledge of the matter, with limited synthesis and analysis capabilities, and difficulties in the application to case studies lead to discrete evaluations. Learning gaps and inability to apply the knowledge to case studies justify negative assessments or low marks.
