Students get theoretical and practical knowledge about distributed control systems in Smart Grid.

Outcomes are the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for an understanding of the complexity of distributed systems, with emphasis on automatic control systems, real-time systems and critical infrastructural systems. Students will learn the paradigms and principles of such systems and they will be able to solve engineering problems, use existing distributed systems, as well as to participate in the development of new applications for distributed systems in Smart Grid.

Introduction to distributed control systems – DCS (definitions, characteristics, real-time operations …). Management Systems (types and applications, data models, simulations, model-based decisions, advanced and contemporary solutions). DCS in process automation and applications in substations (examples, DCS implementation, hierarchical levels, data bases, human machine interface, supervisory control and data acquisition systems – SCADA). Hardware architectures (cluster, grid, Cloud, IoT …). Communication subsystem (function, communication networks, protocols …). Software architecture stiles (client-server, distributed objects, event based, pub-sub, web services, types of services …). Principles and paradigms of DCS (synchronization, consistency and data replication, fault tolerance, security …). Open DCS and integrations. The use in smart grid software model. Algorithms overview and data model in smart grids. Numeric calculations in smart grids.

Lectures, computer and laboratory practice, consultations. The theoretical part of the course is examined orally by students` answering problem questions. The oral part is worth 30 points and is based on a set of exam questions. The practical part of the exam is taken in the computer laboratory (colloquium) and through homework assignments. The final grade is formed on the basis of the results of the colloquium and the programming tasks, the quality of the homework and the oral part of the exam.
