1. Introduction

AT-SGIRES project proposal and the project’s capacity building plan defined training sessions for the teaching staff members, researchers, students of AT-SGIRES partner universities. For more details about the target group, please read the capacity building plan of AT-SGIRES project.

The training sessions to be conducted at Newcastle University aim at developing the knowledge of trainees in a wide range of topics in recent smart grid development as detailed below. The goal is to give the trainees familiarity with such topics and competence in handling them, in the context of present and future distribution and transmission networks (Smart distribution and transmission grids).

The covered topics covered will be:

Smart Grids: drivers, challenges and regulatory issues

Renewable energy and distributed generation and its effect on the grid

Low carbon loads and their effects on the grid

Smart metering

Demand side response

Electrical energy storage: Grid applications

Active network management and automation

Advanced power flow management

Advanced voltage control in network

Decentralized control and Microgrid

The training sessions will introduce to the researchers and teaching staff members the teaching methods for trainees with industrial backgrounds and how to build a sustainable relationship with the energy industry.

2. Training Sessions’ Goals

The training sessions of AT-SGIRES project to be held at Newcastle University have the following main goals:

Introduce the challenges to be faced by transmission and distribution networks across the globe in the period 2015-2045, and the reasons why traditional solutions are unlikely to be sufficient to meet these challenges.

Teach a wide range of different possible smart grid interventions. Each would be fully described, including a realistic evaluation of strengths and weaknesses. Trainees would be able to perform appropriate calculations of different applications.

Introduce the teaching methods for trainees from energy industry.

3. Intended Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this training sessions, the trainees will be able to:

Describe and evaluate the purposes, costs and benefits of a wide range of smart

interventions on the network;

compare different interventions in the context of particular future challenges on particular

regions of network, and make justified recommendations as to which should be considered

for adoption;

Critically compare such interventions with more traditional solutions such as network

reinforcement.

4. Prerequisites

It is also expected that trainees have Power Engineering as their background or/and have taken the Introduction to Power Systems course and are familiar with its content.

5. Learning Activities

For each topic, formal lectures would be complemented by class discussion;

Problem sheets to work on in groups and separately, in class and afterwards;

Supporting laboratory sessions;

Journal paper review and task-based learning;

Attending keynote of industrial leaders.

6. Capacity building in industry

One of this training aspects is to provide training Sessions for researchers and teaching staff for

capacity building in industry. For this purpose, UNEW will give access to the trainees (teaching staff,

researchers, and students) to the keynote sessions of UK Energy Storage (UKES 2019) conference

and the poster sessions. The conference has an overarching theme of Energy Storage and

Digitalisation. The conference aims to bring together researchers from academia, industry and

policy makers across the whole field of energy storage and relevant themes such as Smart Grids,

offering a unique opportunity for dissemination and collaboration through presentations, expert

talks, and poster sessions to inspire future research.

The speaker of the keynote sessions will give the audience, including the trainees of AT-SGIRES

project, the current and future orientation of the projects funding organization, and their

experience in building successful relationships between the academia and the industry. The poster



P a g e | 6

sessions will give the trainees an overview about the current research topics in the topics covered

by the conference such as:

Energy Storage and the Internet of Things

Energy Storage and Data

Energy Storage and the Smart Grid

Electrochemical Energy Storage

Energy Storage for Future Mobility

Demonstration & Commercial Deployment of Energy Storage

Energy Storage in Whole Energy Systems

Design, Planning, Integration, and Control of Energy Storage

Energy Storage in the Built Environment

Policy & Economics of Energy Storage

Thermal, Mechanical & Thermochemical Energy Storage

Energy Storage in the Human Context

Global Challenges for Energy Storage

Life Cycle Analysis and Recycling of Energy Storage

Bearing in mind that AT-SGIRES project is not a research project, however the topics covered by the

keynote and the poster sessions can help the teachers and researchers from the beneficiary

universities in better explaining AT-SGIRES modules, by explaining to their future students and

trainees some real-world case studies. In addition, the conference will help the trainees to better

understanding the future needs of industry, hence they can focus more during the teaching of AT-

SGIRES modules on these needs. Finally, understanding the method of approaching the funding

organization and industry will help AT-SGIRES members to build successful relationship between AT-

SGIRES training centre and the industry in the future. This, in its turn, will help in sustaining the

outcomes of AT-SGIRES project.

7. Assessment

The assessment will be through an assignment which would give the opportunity to apply any or all

of the topics covered to a practical case study. The assessment will be through 2 hours examination.

8. Duration of the training

The training will be held in two sessions, during the following period: 02/09/2019 to 13/09/2019

- The training sessions of the teaching staff members will be held during: 02/09/2019 to

06/09/2019.
