Las topologías actuales de redes eléctricas, hacen compleja la administración de la demanda, así como los cambios de estructuras locales y globales debido a una falta de automatización en los elementos de comunicaciones y de toma de decisiones.
Como respuesta a estas necesidades, surge un cambio tecnológico a partir de las smart grid o redes inteligentes. El conocimiento de esta nueva tecnología en el sector energético permite que un país pueda hacer un uso efectivo de sus recursos energéticos.
Si los usuarios tienen conocimiento de los dispositivos inteligentes actuales, que nos proporciona el internet de las cosas, podrán tener un ahorro energético evitando rezagos tecnológicos pasando de ser un consumidor pasivo a uno activo.
De esta manera, el curso en línea aborda el tema de las redes inteligentes, en sus etapas y estructura para definir lo que se conoce como smart grid.
This course is part of the Sustentabilidad energética y la smart grid Professional Certificate.

Outsmarting intermittency (Coursera)

Solar and wind offer clean and renewable ways to produce large amounts of electricity. They have boomed over the last few years, evolving from an eco-daydream to a major market and showing unprecedented growth rates. Yet, installing solar panels and wind turbines is by no means the end of the story. The electrical grid, which connects production means to the end-users’ sockets, is not a simple electron pipe. It is the beating heart of our electricity system and ensures its stability. Solar and wind raise specific challenges for the grid, and these challenges will have to be tackled if we want to deploy larger amounts of renewable sources.

This course will examine the drinking water and electricity infrastructures, and various policies that have been developed to help guide and strengthen their cybersecurity programs. The drinking water and electricity infrastructures are two of fourteen subsectors comprising what are known as "lifeline infrastructure". The 2013 National Infrastructure Protection Plan identifies four lifeline infrastructure sectors: 1) water, 2) energy, 3) transportation, and 4) communications. These sectors are designated "lifeline" because many other infrastructures depend upon them.
