11148 - Electrical Systems for Energy

Learning outcomes

The module aims to provide a description of the main elements constituting electrical power systems, in particular the production, transmission, distribution and utilization subsystems, and to illustrate the principles at the base of their management in the presence of electric energy production also from renewable sources and distributed generation. At the end the student will own the knowledge of:  electricity distribution systems;  interaction between city systems and the electricity grid: smart grids, smart mobility, etc .;  integration with renewable energy sources in the city systems.

Course contents

The course provides the basic elements for acquiring knowledge - of the structure / configuration - of operation - of the main components and devices of electrical energy systems with particular reference to low and medium voltage electrical systems and their contextualisation in the smart city paradigm / concept.
