Course description: The transition from traditional power grid to smart power grid is gaining momentum.  Due to this transition, the importance of metering, communication and distribution has risen rapidly. This course will allow students to perform experiments and test modeling an entire power grid from power generation to power consumption. The course will provide insights to the various research methods being carried out in the domain of smart grid. List of contents:IntroductionAdvanced photovoltaic trainerInvestigating solar modulesDesign of PV in an on-grid and off-grid modeWind power plant trainerPhysical fundamental from “wind to wave”Design and operation of wind power generatorDesign an off-grid system for the generation of AC voltageHybrid systems for off-grid power supply using wind power and photovoltaic systems
