Integration of Renewable and Distributed Generation

Renewable and distributed generation can provide an effective means to improve network efficiency, decrease reliance on high carbon emission generation, and allow consumers to increase responsibility for their own electricity needs. However, the rapidly increasing installation of distributed generation including solar and wind has increased the complexity and uncertainty in operation, control and protection of electricity networks. This course covers network planning and reliability aspects for facilitating integration of these new generating technologies, with a focus on solar and wind power integration, as well as energy storage applications. Through practical case studies from local industry experts and researchers, you'll learn about fundamental aspects, operation, control and protection techniques, and methods of integration to improve supply quality and reliability for network operators and customers.
