Introduction (main goal of operation management; technical and economical analysis of management system application; basic control variables). Main real time functions (data acquisition; data storage; control of network topology and switching operation; state estimation; checking alarm violations; monitoring current operations; real time voltage control; reconfiguration; fault management; under voltage reconfiguration). Part of the course is conducted through individual research and study work in the field of regulation and operation management of distribution networks. The study and research work are based on active study of primary scientific sources, organization and performance of experiments and statistic data processing, numerical simulations, and writing a paper in the narrow scientific area within the topic of the Doctoral dissertation.
