course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine eesmärk on luua võimalused teadmiste omandamiseks:
- elektrienergia hajatootmise põhimõtetest, eelistest ja probleemidest;
- hajatootmise kavandamiseks ja investeerimisotsuste tegemiseks vajaliku info, selle allikate ja kasutamise kohta;
- taastuvenergia ja hajatootmise optimaalse struktuuri ja talitluse hindamiseks ning arvutamiseks,
- hajatootmise liitumise ja sidumise kohta elektri- ja muude võrkudega ning tootmisüksuste ja elektrisüsteemi vahelise info vahetamise põhimõtetest;
- digitaliseerimise olemusest hajatootmises, tootmisüksuste mõõte-, seire- ja talitlusandmete kasutamisest ning on-grid ja off-grid lahendustest.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to provide opportunities for acquiring knowledge of:
- the principles, advantages and challenges of distributed electricity generation;
- the information required for planning distributed generation and making investment decisions, including its sources and use;
- assessing and calculating the optimal configuration and operation of renewable energy and distributed generation systems;
- the connection and integration of distributed generation with electricity and other networks, as well as the principles of information exchange between generation units and the power system;
- the role of digitalisation in distributed generation, the use of measurement, monitoring and operational data from generation units, and on-grid and off-grid solutions.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Õppeaine läbinud üliõpilane:
- selgitab elektrienergia hajatootmise põhimõtteid, eeliseid, piiranguid ning rolli kaasaegses energiasüsteemis;
- analüüsib hajatootmise kavandamiseks ja investeerimisotsuste tegemiseks vajalikke andmeid, nende allikaid ning kasutusvõimalusi;
- hindab taastuvenergia ja hajatootmise lahenduste tehnilist ning majanduslikku sobivust, arvestades energiasüsteemi tingimusi;
- arvutab hajatootmise süsteemi talitlust või optimaalset struktuuri etteantud lähteandmete ja metoodika alusel;
- selgitab hajatootmise tootmisüksuste elektri- ja muude võrkudega liitumise ning andmevahetuse põhimõtteid;
- hindab digitaliseerimise, mõõte-, seire- ja talitlusandmete kasutamise ning on-grid ja off-grid lahenduste rakendatavust hajatootmises.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course, the student:
- explains the principles, advantages and limitations of distributed electricity generation and its role in the modern power system;
- analyses the data required for planning distributed generation and making investment decisions, including data sources and potential uses;
- assesses the technical and economic suitability of renewable energy and distributed generation solutions, taking into account power system conditions;
- calculates the operation or optimal configuration of a distributed generation system based on given input data and methodology;
- explains the principles of connecting distributed generation units to electricity and other networks, as well as the principles of data exchange;
- assesses the applicability of digitalisation, measurement, monitoring and operational data, and on-grid and off-grid solutions in distributed generation.
