45 lesson hours
Activity type
WRITTEN AND ORAL TEST
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of electrical power generation and transmission system.
Learning outcomes
Get aquainted with the basic problem of defining an acceptable operating point for the electrical power system.
Provide a complete picture of the operation of the wholesale electricity market in Italy, both in its structural components in the organizational aspects, and a first comparison with the European market models.
Course contents
1. Operating states of the electrical system
Definitions of "operating state" proposed in the technical literature: the difference between the normal, alert and emergency sate.
2. Load flow calculation
Finding the operating conditions of the electrical system. Definition of system load; loading and generation buses; the slack bus for the balance of the real powers. Solution of the load flow problem by the method of Newton-Raphson. Methods of decoupled load flow solution (Carpentier, Stott) and approximate load flow methods (d.c. load flow).
3. FACTS devices
The operational constraints of the electrical system (current / power flows, voltage levels). FACTS devices as an effective tool to achieve compliance with the operational constraints. Analysis of the main types of FACTS devices.
4. Electricity markets
Fundamental theory to understand market dynamics and the interrelations between its various stages; specialized analysis of regulation, use of simulation models, critical analysis of market performance based on public data, investment appraisal. Systems planning, to transfer basic knowledge and skills for an extensive overview on current and future trends in industry.
Teaching methods
The course consists of lectures and exercises, some of which are to be carried out by computer.
