Learning outcomes
The module provides the technical basics for understanding the main technical requirements for accomplishing the paradigm of climate neutral cities and the concept and functions of energy communities. At the end of the course students are able to understand the role played by energy communities in a climate neutral city, with particular focus on the requirements posed by the EU Clean Energy Package, and own the fundamentals of the economy of electric power systems, of electricity tariffication and of international and national standards relevant to the electric energy sector.
Course contents
The course is divided into two parts:
1. Structure of the electrical systems and its evolution from the origins to the modern smart grid. Main key technical issues relevant to the operation and control of modern electric power systems able to supply smart cities including energy communities and ground transportation.
2. Renewables integration in the Electric Power System and relevant technical issues. Smart grids: main technical features. Smart Cities: definition and relevant sub-systems.The EU Mission 'Climate Neutral and Smart Cities". The Smart Grid as the main enabler for the implementation of the Smart City paradigm. Energy Communities.
