Module codeENGM031
Module lecturers:Prof Zhongdong Wang
Module credits:15

Progress towards Net-Zero is bringing a revolutionary change in traditional fossil fuel-based power systems and forcing the transition to a low carbon Smart Grid. The main concepts in smart grids and sustainable energy systems will be discussed with a focus on the integration of low-carbon technologies such as intermittent renewables, electric vehicles, heat pumps, HVDC and storage. This module assesses their impact on network planning, economic design and operation, security, reliability and system resilience. Emphasis will be on the integration of low carbon technologies into distribution networks and the applicability of advanced network management strategies to optimise the benefits in implementing economic dispatch and optimal power flow.
