Modelling and Operation of Electrical Grids - 5EUS5MFR

Goal(s)

he purpose of this module is to address the operation of electrical networks in two ways: modeling and computing methods for power grids operation under liberalized markets.

Yvon BESANGER-MOLERES

Content(s)

he module content is divided into two parts:

• Modeling and Computation networks
• Deregulation: network operation under liberalized markets

The "Modeling and Design of Networks" covers the following chapters:

• Introduction to the problem of modeling in Large Electric Systems
• Classification of problems of electrical networks and their timing
• Matrices Power System:
  o Background on graph theory
  o primitive matrices, incident matrices and transfer matrices
  o Construction of the transfer matrices using the "inspection" method
  o Examples of construction of network matrices
• Calculation of load Flows
  o Defining the Problem
  o The numerical methods for solving the problem of load balancing
  o Calculation of power transfers
• Current calculation for systematic short-circuits using network matrices
  o Symmetrical short-circuits
  o Non symmetrical short-circuits
• Introduction to state estimation

"Deregulation" part covers the following chapters:

• Networks operations:
  o practical aspects of maintaining the balance of production - consumption
  ? consumption forecast
  ? dynamic constraints of production
  ? production scheduling
  ? load monitoring and security analysis
  o analysis of the various network constraints
• Interconnections in networks
  o Logical development of interconnections
  o Benefits vs cons
• Introduction to electricity markets
  o History of the opening of the energy markets in France and around the world
  o Reasons for open markets
• Market participants and scope of responsibility
• Market mechanisms
• Market models
  o Pool / PX, OTC, single buyer ...
  o Example clearing mechanisms in markets
  o Analysis of the mechanisms of price formation
  o Analysis of price trends
• Ancilary Services
• Congestion management
• The adjusting mechanism
• The calculation of ATC
• Mechanisms for access to the transmission and distribution
• The regulator of energy markets: the role, scope and areas of intervention

• "Electric Energy module", TC1
• bases on economy

Test

First session
Continous assessment (CC1) : The EN assessment's mark will be the average of the following two marks:

• average of the Network Modelling and Calculation BE reports
• defence of the deregulation project

Final assessment (ET1) : 2h written exam covering the whole courses (modelling part + deregulation par), it will concern only course questions

Second session

ET2 : Written or oral exam on the deregulation part. The new mark will replace the first one (ET1).
CC2: Retaking this assessment is not possible

The exam is given in english only

Calendar

The course exists in the following branches:

• Curriculum - Master's Degree in Engineering IEE - Semester 9 (this course is given in english only )
• Curriculum - Master inter SGB - Semester 9 (this course is given in english only )
