“…In [2], a two way communication network system is presented which consists of a macro grid, that is a traditional centralized power grid, and a micro grid that represents a decentralized community-scale power grid. In [4] an illustrative macro smart grid is presented but it was not detailed since it was developed for educational purposes.…”

“…Equation (2) ensures that the delivered electricity to each smart distribution grid from plant p i is inferior or equal to the capacity of this power plant, (3) ensures that the sum of the incoming flows from the power plants and from the aggregators to each smart distribution grid is inferior or equal to its capacity, (4) ensures that the sum of the incoming flows of an aggregator is equal to the sum of its outgoing flows, (5) ensures that the incoming flows of each smart distribution grid is equal to the sum of its outgoing flows, (6) ensures that the demand of each prosumer is satisfied, (7) ensures that the sum of the direct flows is greater than the sum of the reverse flows, (8) is the balancing equation of incoming and outcoming flows for each prosumer, (9) is the capacity constraints of each aggregator, (10) ensures that the demand of each aggregator is satisfied, (11) represents the binary nature of the decision variable Z i and finally (12) preserves the non-negativity restriction of the decision variables. The resulting model is a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem which can be resolved, depending on the complexity of the relationships, using MATLAB or software packages such as Cplex or other similar products.…”

AbstractaThe traditional electrical power grid used to be one-directional power flows (flowing from producers to consumers). Nowadays, the consumers become more active and they participate in electricity generation process through Demand -directional and production units more decentralized. Electrical grid architectures must be developed in parallel in order to meet these increasing changes that lead to what is known to be Smart Grids. In this paper, we first present a literature review about the smart grid architectures and the various associated models. Then, we propose a closed loop supply chain approach to model and optimize configurations and operations of smart grid systems. Within this context, a whole section is devoted to the development of a mixed nonlinear programming model to optimize the architecture of given smart grid systems. For illustrative purposes, using a specific smart grid system and appropriate data, we model the problem and solve it for the optimal architecture.

“…First one was ensuring electrical engineering and power systems students are exposed to basic techniques from computational intelligence, IT, communication techniques, and computer networking, and graduate students and professionals understood the modern power grid, power system components and its fundamentals [11][12][13][14] . The second consideration was ensuring the instructor have adequate expertise on the chosen topics.…”

“…Power engineering has commoditized the electric network and computation solutions, finding the offthe-shelves products that fit the needs, by defining a logical mapping between desired functions and communication standards. To train students in smart grids require a creative curriculum that crosses traditional engineering divisions 3,[7][8][9][10][11][12] . For example, students taking advanced courses in the power systems area traditionally have an electrical engineering background as do students in the control and telecommunications fields.…”

industry as project manager, senior engineer and consultant. He has taught and developed undergraduate and graduate courses in power electronics, power systems, renewable energy, smart grids, control, electric machines, instrumentation, radar and remote sensing, numerical methods, space and atmosphere physics, and applied physics. His research interests included power system stability, control and protection, renewable energy system analysis, assessment and design, smart microgrids, power electronics and electric machines for non-conventional energy conversion, remote sensing, wave and turbulence, numerical modeling, electromagnetic compatibility and engineering education. During his career Dr. Belu published ten book chapters, several papers in referred journals and in conference proceedings in his areas of the research interests. He has also been PI or Co-PI for various research projects United States and abroad in power systems analysis and protection, load and energy demand forecasting, renewable energy, microgrids, wave and turbulence, radar and remote sensing, instrumentation, atmosphere physics, electromagnetic compatibility, and engineering education. Development and Implementation of an Undergraduate Course on Smart Grids AbstractThe "Smart Grid" concept proposes to move the power system technology to the next level to improve efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability. In order to maintain a reliable, robust and secure electricity infrastructure that can meet further demand growth, the electrical grid is evolving toward the future power system, the smart grid, through the increased use of information technology, computing, advanced control, distributed generation, renewable energy, demand-side response, intelligent metering and monitoring, and deployment of the intelligent technologies. Smart grid (SG) concept is also driving many of the current changes in engineering curricula. Present power industry trends, the aging assets and workforce, renewable energy integration, all in the smart grid background, making the discussions around what is expected of the future utility workforce even more complicated. Educators and industry personnel are trying to figure out the answers to these questions and common themes are slowly emerging as there is no definitive consensus on the expected future workforce needs, workforce development and training in the SG inter-disciplinary areas. Existing educational programs and curricula must fit the needs of students, faculty and employers for a workforce that is capable of deploying and operating the smart grid technologies, including measurements, monitoring, communication, computing, control and power electronics make the required education and training even more challenging. Power system operation, analysis and design need to be formulated in a way that is understandable by non-power engineers for better SG development and implementation. To train professionals and students in smart grids, a creative curriculum crossing traditional disciplines is needed....
