Course description |
Sustainable Energy Engineering is indispensable to our life and an industrial activity. In this course, lectures are given related to Sustainable Energy Engineering which harmonized with environment about the following subjects aiming at construction on the irreplaceable earth. Sustainable Energy situation in Japan and in the world, the situation picture of the Sustainable Energy 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 Sustainable Energy 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 Sustainable Energy at the 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 Sustainable Energy and Power Systems, also able to analyze the energy calculation, and Day-to-Day Operation Planning which is generally done by power companies every day. |
Course schedule |
The Sustainable Energy 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 Sustainable Energy. Our aim is to understand the basic characteristics and structure of Sustainable Energy, and study the planning and operation and control of this huge systems. This course consists of the following contents. (1) Planning and operation of Sustainable Energy (2) Sustainable Energy elements and structure (3) Characteristics and features of Sustainable Energy (4) Mathematical model of Sustainable Energy (5) Outline of Sustainable Energy 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) Sustainable Energy security and reliability analysis (10) Sustainable Energy load forecasting and supply-demand balance planning (11) Power deregulation (12) Wind power energy (13) Application of intelligent methods (such as artificial neural networks) in Sustainable Energy (14) Distributed energy resources and micro grid (15) Sustainable Energy 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. |

Office hours |
Due to Corona situation, you can send me your question by e-mail, or if you need to talk to me directly, you can make appointment and we can discuss over internet, using ZOOM, etc. (you need to make appointment first). E-mail: bahman@cc.tuat.ac.jp |
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, reports. Standard study time set by our university is required to get the grade. The rate of evaluation is as follows: Report during the course period: 10 points Intermediate test (report): 30 points Final test (report):60 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 Sustainable Energy, renewable energy, micro and smart grids which are the hot topics now. It is only this course that teaches deregulation of power industry to the BS students. |
