Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
- Dynamic modelling, control and analysis of transient behaviour of power systems, especially in the significant presence of power generation units from renewable sources (wind, photovoltaic, marine and others)
- Applications of power electronics to the management of electrical energy and power grids, in particular (transmission networks: Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), DC link (HVDC); distribution networks (D-FACTS, active filters))
- Smart Grids: active demand management, energy storage, management of the massive integration of distributed generation in distribution networks, evolution of the concept of ancillary services, micro-grids, power systems monitoring and automation.

Content
- Generalities, a reminder of basic concepts of electricity networks
- Dynamic modelling of systems:
- Synchronous machines (Park's model, simplified models, characteristic parameters),
- Wind turbine generators (cage induction motors, doubly-fed induction machines, permanent magnet synchronous machines and associated power electronic converters),
- Photovoltaic systems,
- Power electronics converters used in the technical management and operation of energy networks: HVDC links, FACTS,
- Other network components and loads,
- Energy Storage Systems.
- Introduction to the concepts of stability
- Introduction and use of specialized software tools for the analysis of the dynamic behaviour of electrical systems
- Smart Grids: current issues (technical management of networks (congestion, stability, voltage control ...), ancillary services, the role of energy storage etc.)
Teaching methods
- Lectures for the introduction of the basic theoretical concepts and general context description
- Exercises and homework: solving particular problems with the help of dedicated software tools. Discussion forum, practical issues concerning the use of software tools and results. Consulting sessions (coaching).
- Seminars based on reading recent scientific articles dealing with topics covered in the course. These readings are intended to deepen and illustrate the concepts developed during the lectures. They concern case studies or results of particular investigations. Everyone is asked to read the articles in advance. Each reading will be particularly prepared by a group of two students who will be asked to present it to the group, to comment on it and to animate a debate.
Evaluation methods
Students are assessed during an oral examination, for which they can have the courses and their personal notes supports.
Homework is proposed during the semester and is evaluated. It counts for half of the points of the final grade, provided that the student has obtained at least 50% of the points for the exam.
In case the student does not obtain at least 50% of the points for the exam, the final grade is equal to the grade obtained for the exam.
