The smart grid will transform the way power is delivered, consumed, and accounted for. Adding intelligence through the newly networked grid will increase reliability and power quality, improve responsiveness, increase efficiency, and provide a platform for new applications. The objective of this course is to provide useful background on advanced data communication and networking mechanisms, models for networked control, and security mechanisms for the smart grid.

It is intended that students acquire some concepts of communications in the smart grid. Therefore, some relevant topics in the context of communication networks will be studied, along with some relevant topics in the generation, transmission, and distribution of energy. Students will become aware of the characteristics of smart grid applications supported by communication networks, as well as the communication infrastructure in the smart grid. The students will be able to select the relevant access technology according to the envisaged application. They should also acquire knowledge about the most relevant communication protocols, including those that support the communications necessary for smart metering and distribution automation.

英語 / English

The syllabus topics will be presented in detail, in terms of fundamental concepts and principles, complemented by the resolution of practical exercises to help students consolidate their knowledge. Different work themes will be proposed to students, depending on their specialization, to carry out during the semester. The outcome of those works should be a report and oral presentation at the end of the semester, followed by a group discussion in which the student's participation will be duly considered.
