Aims

The aim of this course is to broaden and expand knowledge of modern energy transmission and storage. More specifically, this course introduces the concept of energy transmission in a variable environment in terms of energy supply and demand. Finally, modern techniques for energy storage (electricity and other forms) are presented.

Learning Outcomes
On completing the course students will:

• Develop knowledge of the technology behind current electrical, natural gas and hydrogen networks
• Develop an understanding of energy transmission in variable and congested network
• Learn to provide power flow control to balance supply and demand
• Acquire management skills in energy storage and network disturbances

Content
