Information:
The course presents an in-depth interdisciplinary perspective of
the electric power sector, with regulation providing the link among
the engineering, economic, legal and environmental
viewpoints.
Electricity markets, incentive regulation of networks, reliability
of service, renewable energy sources, contemporary network issues,
retail competition, tariff design, distributed generation, rural
electrification, multinational electricity markets, environmental
impacts, future of utilities and strategic sustainability issues
will be addressed under both traditional and competitive regulatory
frameworks.
The course will make available the engineering, economic and legal
basis to critically evaluate the regulatory instruments that are
used worldwide for electricity supply activities that are performed
as regulated monopolies or under competitive conditions. Most of
these regulatory approaches are also of application in other
industrial sectors.
The knowledge acquired in the course will provide the comprehensive
understanding of electric power systems that will be needed for
research in this field, as well as for future professional
activities in the energy sector, whether in industry, government or
consulting.
