Renewable System Integration

EE4400 - Renewable System Integration

<p>This subject develops a foundation for pursuing electrical engineering oriented research in the area of sustainable electric energy systems. This subject aims to introduce the concepts behind smart grid technologies, future low-carbon networks, sustainable electricity systems as well as the main renewable and low-carbon generation technologies. The subject will introduce students to tools and techniques so that distributed energy resources (e.g. distributed renewable generation, storage, small scale such as electric vehicles and utility-scale, demand response, peak demand shifting, etc.) may be integrated effectively into the power system in the context of both traditional grids and future smart grids.</p>
