    Condition Power System Analysis
    The goal Introducing students to the concept, architecture, and role of smart grids in modern power systems. Acquiring knowledge about the integration of RES, consumer management, electric vehicles, and energy storage. Special focus is placed on applying artificial intelligence algorithms for system control and optimization.
    The outcome The student will be able to explain smart grid concepts and architecture, analyze the role of RES, storage, and EVs, apply principles of demand-side management and prosumer operation, describe ICT and communication protocols, use algorithms for monitoring and control, and apply software tools for real-time simulation and analysis of smart grids.
    Contents
    Contents of lectures The content includes: introduction to smart grids, architecture and components, integration of RES, storage systems and EVs, demand management and prosumer participation, communication protocols (e.g., IEC 61850), ICT and cybersecurity, monitoring and automation, AI applications, smart meters, standards, and future development trends in smart grids.
    Contents of exercises Practical training includes distribution grid modeling, simulation of RES and storage integration, demand and prosumer management, AMI data analysis, application of communication protocols and optimization algorithms, as well as real-time work with HIL simulators and a final project focused on hybrid energy system control.
