Acquiring the basic knowledge from the power system management (Energy Management System - EMS and Distribution Management System - DMS), regarding the methodology and algorithms for the optimization of production-transmission and distribution capacities. The aim is to learn the students for solving the practical problems in power system dispatching and decision making in power system optimization. Also, the aim is understanding the different industry related power system optimization tools inside EMS and DMS.

At the end of the course, students will be able to: - Modelling the certain physical effects which happen under some operation conditions (in transmission and distribution networks – EMS and DMS). - Formulate and solve the basic analytical functions of power system operation inside EMS and DMS. - Understanding the software packages for optimization and simulation of dispatching management in real-world production-transmission and distribution networks. - Derive the necessary conclusions on the basis of the obtained results for the purpose of power system optimization.
