Elaborate Course: Smart Grid

精品课程：智能电网

I. Course Introduction (including teaching goals and requirements):

This lesson will introduce the electric power system’s history and the emerging problems faced by current industry and customers. Smart grid as the name of modern electric system is ongoing in United States, European Union, Japan and China. Similarities and differences of US, EU and China have been analyzed based on the introduction of power grid, energy distribution, electricity market in each area.

Related information of smart grid in U.S, E.U, Japan and China have been introduced, which include the conception and definitions of smart grid, the organizations and standards, the characteristics and frameworks of smart grid, and the typical cases of smart grid in different country.

The technologies and operation problems will be introduced in this lesson, and furthermore, the relationship of the electricity market and smart grid will be discussed, and then one issue of how to integrate distributed energy resources will be analyzed and discussed.

This lesson will adopt Chinese-English language for teaching and discussion. We hope students can have a preliminary recognition of what smart grid is after this course, and active discussion will be expected in this lesson.
