Short-Term Course On INTELLIGENT SYSTEM APPLICATIONS TO THE SMART ELECTRIC GRID SOLUTIONS November 15-19, 2010

Due to the increased interconnections and loading of the network with liberization and environmental pressure, the power systems have become complex and facing many challenges in their optimal, secure and efficient operation. Smart grid initiatives seem to provide remedial measured to these problems by computational intelligence, automation, advanced measurements, and application of information and communication technology (ICT). India has already taken the first step in the direction of smart grid by unbundling the power system to bring competition with the introduction of renewable energy sources. Future power system structure, operation, control and management will be quite different from the existing one as it will foresee large market players, more renewable energy sources and demand response programs.

The main objective of the course is to enhance the knowledge of the participants in the area of Artificial Intelligent (AI) system applications in providing solutions to the modern power system problems. The course will provide a platform to an in-depth discussion on the various challenges and their possible remedies in smart grid initiatives which will benefit participants from academic and R&D institutions, engineers of utilities and policy makers.
