Course description
Energy network engineering is indispensable to our life and an industrial activity.
In this course, lectures are given related to energy network engineering which harmonized with environment about the following subjects aiming at construction on the irreplaceable earth.
Energy network situation in Japan and in the world, the situation picture of the energy network in today's and future, power deregulation, a complete level of voltages in entire power system in Japan from the generation to the demand,present measure situation about energy saving in residential, commercial(including business-use building) and industrial sectors, application of the intelligent technique to energy network engineering, renewable energies including wind and solar power, and finally micro grids and smart grids.
This lecture is based on the business experience of the Professor Nagasaka when he served at a Canadian University. The nature of this subject was said to be the most important task of power companies around the world, on energy and demand forecasting. In this lecture all practical experiences including break-through-finding are taken into examples and practices and taught in the classroom. These kinds of actual practices are not mentioned in any textbooks, so the students are eagerly benefited from this session.
Expected Learning
By attending this course, you will be able to learn about the Power Systems and also able to analyze the Network calculation, and Day-to-Day Operation Planning which is generally done by power companies every day.
Course schedule
The energy network which plays an important role in supplying good quality of power (stable and reliable) is regarded as a large-scale system which consists of power generation transmission, substations and distribution equipment. In this course we study and consider problems in entire of this large-scale network.
Our aim is to understand the basic characteristics and structure of an energy network, and study the planning and operation and control of this huge systems.
This course consists of the following contents.

(1) Planning and operation of energy network
(2) Energy network elements and structure
(3) Characteristics and features of energy network
(4) Mathematical model of energy network
(5) Outline of network planning, operation, and control
(6) Economy load dispatching of power generation equipments,
(7) Active power and frequency control
(8) Voltage and reactive power control
(9) Network security and reliability analysis
(10) Energy load forecasting and supply-demand balance planning
(11) Power deregulation
(12) Wind power energy
(13) Application of intelligent methods (such as artificial neural netwoks) in energy network
(14) Distributed energy resources and micro grid
(15) Energies and environment harmony
Prerequisites
I want you to study some reference books about the optimization techniques and renewable energy resources.
Required Text(s) and Materials
I don't use a textbook for this course.
I will distribute some documents related to the course before the classes or I will put them on the homepage of my laboratory, so you can download them any time through the internet.

Remarks 1
【Important, Due to Corona Virus Situation】 In case we had the entire classes of this course as ONLINE Lecture】
The grade evaluation in this online class is premised on all attendances, and comprehensively evaluates the attitude to learn, quizzes, report, and online tests. Standard study time set by the our university is required to get the grade. The rate of evaluation is as follows:
Attendance: 20 points
quizzes and assignment test: 40 points
online test: 40 points
Total points: 100 points
Passing Score: 60 points and above
Grade will be given according to the following criteria by comprehensive evaluation: S: 90 points or more, A: 80 or more and less than 90 points, B: 70 or more and less than 80 points, C: 60 or more and less than 70 points.
Remarks 2
In this course the main subjects are power system and renewable energy which are the hot topics now. It is only this course that teaches deregulation of power industry to the BS students.
