Summer Course at Aalto University on Power System Reliability

#Reliability; #Complex #Systems; #Power #System;

Offering an intensive 4-day course on the Reliability Assesment in the Electric Power System taught by Prof. Mahmud Fotuhi-Firuzabad, a recognized IEEE Fellow Member on power system Reliability. The participants who passed the final exam received a certificate and 4 credits. It is worth mentioning that the course is free for our IEEE Members.

Since we only had a limited number of places available for this course, therefore the seats were reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants were responsible for organizing and paying their own travel costs, accommodation, and food. 

Registration: The deadline for the registration was 12.8.2019

Course Background:

Electric power utilities are facing new challenges and problems in the changing utility environment. The course aimed at providing an in-depth introduction to the range of probabilistic aspects used in the assessment of electric power system reliability. The basic principles of reliability evaluation along with their application, current practices and solution methods in the generation, transmission, and distribution systems have been discussed.

Benefits of Participants:

• Understanding the fundamental of system reliability engineering
• Understanding the concepts of power system reliability
• Exposure to probabilistic technique applications to power system problems
• Exposure to reliability cost/worth problem and investigating the tradeoff between reliability and economics

 Intended Audience

• Utility personnel involved in system operation, planning and related activities
• Power engineers, graduate students, and researchers in utilities and universities

 The course mainly covered the following aspects:

• Fundamental concepts of reliability Engineering
• System components and their outage models
• Techniques used in engineering system risk assessment
• Basic concepts of adequacy and security in electric power systems
• Generating capacity reliability assessment
• Composite generation and transmission system reliability evaluation
• Application of risk evaluation in transmission developing planning, transmission operation planning
• Power system reliability assessment including renewable sources
• Distribution system reliability evaluation
• Substation and switching station reliability
• Reliability cost/worth analysis
• Reliability centered maintenance
• Reliability data requirements for predictive and performance assessment

Language: The working language of the course was English.

Prof. Mahmud Fotuhi-Firuzabad (IEEE Fellow, 2014) Obtained B.Sc. and M.Sc. Degrees in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology and Tehran University in 1986 and 1989 respectively and M.Sc. and Ph.D. Degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1993 and 1997, respectively. Dr. Fotuhi-Firuzabad is a professor of Electrical Engineering Department, Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. He is a member of the center of excellence in power system control and management in the same department. His research interests include power system reliability, distributed renewable generation, demand response, and smart grids. He is the recipient of several national and international awards including 2012 Iran Nationwide Outstanding Research award in Engineering, Sixteen Khwarizmi International award, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Gold Medal for the outstanding inventor, and 2016 PMAPS International Society Merit Award for contributions of probabilistic methods applied to power systems. Dr. Fotuhi-Firuzabad is a visiting professor at Aalto University, Finland. He serves as the Editor-In-Chief of the IEEE POWER ENGINEERING LETTERS and also the Editor of the Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy.
