Objectives
Students should be able to:
Understand and explain the reliability issues of the composite generation-transmission system and cover the main evaluation techniques (CDIO 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.3). Apply simulation methodologies to these problems (CDIO 2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 3.2, 3.3). Know and apply methodologies for planning, namely in an uncertainty environment (CDIO 2.5, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6). Analyze the impact of the structural modifications of the electric sector in the planning activity (CDIO 2.5, 4.1, 4.2).
Program
Reliability of the generating system. Deterministic and probabilistic criteria for the evaluation of reserves. Reliability of the composite generation-transmission system. Analytic methods and simulation. Monte-Carlo method. Planning of transmission and distribution systems. Impact of the electric sector unbundling. Grid codes and corporate practices. Optimization based models. Commercial applications.

Eligibility for exams
Successful completion of the two assignments (at least 8 out of 20).
Calculation formula of final grade
Written exam, 50%
Assignments, 50%
(Minimum of 8/20 in both components)
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
All the students must complete the assignments.
Classification improvement
A second opportunity for the exam is available.
Distributed evaluation cannot by its nature be improved.
