Students are also able to find and utilize real time data on variable renewable energy sources (VRES) and are able to apply the residual curve equation. They can explain the costs of large scale VRES integration and how they can be mitigated, they can explain demand side flexibility and the related role of the emerging energy services in the Smart Grid system. Furthermore, students are able to master the basics concepts necessary to draft a scenario for the decarbonization of the power system by 2050, properly assessing its economic, environmental and geopolitical implications, as well as the technological and infrastructural gaps.","valueEn":"Upon completion of the course, students are able to explain the concept of Smart Grids, the evolution of Smart Grids from electricity power grids, the information technology requirements as well as the economic, environmental and social implications of Smart Grids.
