Energy Transmission and Storage
| Teaching Hours and Credit Allocation: | 30 Hours, 6 Credits |
| Course Assessment: | Exam & Coursework |
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
