Course Details
• Fundamentals of Microgrids: An introductory unit covering the basics of microgrid systems, including their definition, architecture, benefits, and challenges. This unit will also introduce primary and secondary microgrid components, such as energy sources, power converters, and energy storage systems.
• Microgrid Control and Monitoring Systems: This unit will discuss the various control and monitoring strategies for microgrids, such as centralized, decentralized, and hybrid control systems. Additionally, this unit will cover monitoring, protection, and communication systems used in microgrid control and management.
• Renewable Energy Resources in Microgrids: This unit will focus on the integration of renewable energy resources (RERs) into microgrids, including solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power systems. Students will learn about RER modeling, control, and power electronics interfaces.
• Energy Storage Systems in Microgrids: This unit will discuss the various energy storage technologies used in microgrids, such as batteries, flywheels, and fuel cells. It will cover energy storage control strategies, power electronics interfaces, and their role in maintaining grid stability.
• Microgrid Design and Planning: This unit will focus on the methodologies, tools, and best practices for microgrid design and planning. It will address system sizing, modeling, and optimization for various applications, such as remote communities, commercial buildings, and military bases.
• Microgrid Stability and Transient Analysis: This unit will cover the stability and transient analysis of microgrids, including the impact of power electronics converters on system behavior. It will address small-signal and transient stability concerns and the use of control techniques to mitigate instability issues.
• Microgrid Economics and Financing: This unit will discuss the economic and financial aspects of microgrid systems, including cost-benefit analysis, life-cycle cost estimation, and financing mechanisms. Students
