About Course
An important goal of Smart Grid Technology (SGT) is to leverage modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure to help monitor and control of the power systems more effectively. With the increase in penetration of SGT in power systems, there has been a growing demand of real time visualization, monitoring, and control of the power system. Further, the present day electricity sector is witnessing increased share of renewables, storage, EV charging stations, microgrids, intelligent sensors and controllers, automation, and smart metering at different levels in the network. This leads to transmission & distribution networks requiring cyber-secure Advanced Energy Management System (AEMS) and Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) tools. The large penetration of renewables, being intermittent in nature, will pose system stability and power quality concerns, which will require proper compensation and controls. The main objective of this course is to familiarize the participants from academic institutions, utilities, industries, and R&D organizations about different concepts and developments in the Smart Grid Technology. Experience gained through some of the smart grid pilot projects will also be shared. The topics to be covered in the course include -
Participants from Academic Institutions
Maximum thirty participants teaching in AICTE approved engineering colleges will be selected on all India basis to attend the course at IIT Kanpur.
