Smart Grid: Sensing, Data Analytics and Control
Online
Overview
Many countries set aggressive goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and renewable energy production has increased exponentially as a result. Yet renewable energies are extremely variable, making it hard to predict how much power they will produce at any given time. Smart grids counteract variability by providing more accurate information, more refined control, and tighter feedback. This course teaches the fundamental components of smart grids including sensing, data analytics and control. Learn how to optimize smart grids so they are cost effective and efficient, how to increase grid reliability, and how to measure performance through data analytics. Explore how monitoring and modeling can improve forecasting and provide critical data for decision making. Develop an understanding of the information and communications technology that enable the expanding field of smart grids.
