The goal of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge of the principles and operation of distributed energy resources as a new type of organization of the power system. The goal is to go more thoroughly into the methods of operation, design, construction and techno-economic aspects of their use, especially in light of the available potentials in Vojvodina and Serbia. In addition, the present and the inclusion of these sources into the existing distribution system, as well as all the problems and advantages of this approach.

Students will be able to calculate, design and apply various forms of renewable energy, and to improve their applicability. They will gain practical experience in working with wind and solar power, as well as know-how on their operation and connection to the existing power system.

Introduction - overview of distributed resources and renewable energy sources. Energy potential and geographic distribution. The situation in Serbia and Vojvodina. The display and conversion opportunities. Converters of solar energy and wind energy into electricity - theories, models and practices. Characteristics and selection of electric generators in wind power plants. Large power plants (wind farms) - mode, surveyor regimes, management, networking with EES. Small hydro power plants - kenstrukcija, manage and connection. Electric energy storage – modern principles, technologies and solutions. Economic and commercial conditions for use of renewable resources for the production and sale of electricity. Connection options for distributed resources into the power system. Advantages and problems in distributed work (unstable networks, island operation, power quality, energy production, etc..).

Theoretical aspects and mathematical models will be presented at the lectures. Problem solving and design methods will be made ??on the auditory exercises, while the practical work and measurement characteristics to be done in the laboratory exercises. Independent student work will be reported in the project.
