Course Description:
Smart Grid Technology is advancing rapidly within the Electric Utility, Commercial Building, and Home Automation industries.?This course provides students with a working knowledge of modern Smart Grid telecommunication methods and technologies currently being deployed by today?s electric utility companies. ?Technologies include a variety of data transport services and network architectures, including conventional two-way private radio systems, SCADA, protective relaying and the need for high voltage protection circuit reliability.

The course emphasizes the importance of physical and electronic security in maintaining 24/7 grid operations plus ensuring that regulatory compliance requirements are met. ?Complete overview coverage of technologies used to monitor and control wide area transmission and distribution power grids include fiber optics (SONET-DWDM, RPR), wireline, (DSL, WAN, MPLS, LAN-Ethernet) wireless, (Mesh, WiMAX, LTE, HSPA, GPRS, Zigbee, WiFi, Satellite VSATs, cellular, terrestrial microwave), Broadband Power Line, and Power Line Carrier systems unique to the Smart Grid.? This course brings together all the elements of modern telecommunications, electrical energy management and control systems into one quality course that enhances industry change.
