This course focuses on the growing importance of distribution-side
phenomena and their impact on bulk power system expansion and operations planning. Participants will explore the technical, economic, and regulatory aspects of distribution-level developments, such as the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), microgrids, and demand-side management, and how these factors influence the planning and operation of the transmission grid. The course will cover modeling and simulation techniques, coordination strategies, and the evolving regulatory frameworks that govern the interface between distribution and transmission systems.
