Course Introduction
This course will assist power system professionals in planning and operating a power system with increasing penetration of Demand Side Management (DSM) Programs and renewable resources. Renewable generation impacts both the planning and the operating criteria. These criteria are examined in detail along with the new requirements for generation reserve margins. Distributed generation and smart meter infrastructures are discussed in light of commercial and residential programs. Demand Response programs are mostly volunteer based programs that allow end customers to reduce their demand and also utility scale control actions to protect customers against price spikes. Some utilities have implemented such programs. The course will present examples of Demand Response programs.
Weather volatility is analyzed from its impact on the demand profile.
The Internet of Things/ The Internet of Everything is a game changer through the Power of Agile Virtual Devices. The course presents how new Devices bring new Analytics and innovative approaches to Demand Side Management.
This course will assist power system professionals in planning and operating a power system with increasing penetration of Demand Side Management (DSM) Programs as well as renewable resources.
The course participants gain knowledge in the many aspects of DSM programs:
Course objective
- What type of utility implements a DSM program?
- How to measure the success of a DSM program?
- How are the Dispatchable Loads used by the System Operator?
- How will a DSM program affect the Market Clearing Price?
- The FIT in Tariff impacting the Economic Dispatch
- Reliability of a system with a large DSM contribution.
- Power Electronics devices essential in the operation of the power system: SVCs (Static Var Compensators)
- Load Shedding versus Dispatchable loads.
- The role played by the smart meter programs.
- The upcoming Internet of Things
