TEACHING RESTRUCTURING COURSES AT ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Mohammad Shahidehpour Center for Electric Power and Power Electronics Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, Illinois 60616 ms@iit.edu
EDUCATION OF RESTRUCTURING • With the advent of electricity restructuring, the ECE Department at IIT has embarked on offering a series of courses on electricity restructuring. • Furthermore, the Department has created a new masters degree program called “Master of Electricity Markets (MEM)” which is a joint program with the Stuart School of Business at IIT.
EACH UTILITY: • Controls and owns all or most of generation, transmission and distribution facilities within its geographical region. • Exercises a monopoly on selling electric power to customers within its geographic region. • Is obligated to sell and meet the needs of electric power to its customers. • Is either publicly owned and not operated for profit, or has rates (prices) that are set by regulatory organizations.

An ISO will face the same difficulties as that of a system operator at CCC when it monitors and controls a large-scale power system. Inspired by the distributed structure of a DEMS in traditional power system, the ISO’s optimization and control could also be implemented in a distributed manner. In the New England Power Pool, the ISO has several SCCs (satellite control centers), each of which is responsible for the monitoring and control of a designated area of the power system. The distributed optimization and control structure of an ISO is quite similar to the distributed structure of a DEMS.
STUDENT PROJECTS • Students are required to pick a topic and complete a project in each of the above courses. • The projects range from a literature search to writing a software code for analyzing the topic related to restructuring. • A short presentation is scheduled for every student enrolled in the course while other students will have a chance to ask questions and comment on the student’s work. • The presentation session is the most interesting part of the course since it brings out a very lively atmosphere to examine the topics covered by the course.
LIST OF CURRENT PROJECTS • Distributed and Hierarchical Control of Electric Power Systems • Probabilistic Risk Evaluation in Restructured Power Systems • Parallel Agents Theory for Transmission Congestion Management • Advanced Forecasting Techniques for Electricity • Applications of Middleware in Power Systems • Reliability Centered Maintenance in Electric Power Systems • Arbitrage in Electricity Markets • Asset Valuation and Risk Analysis • E-Commerce and Open Access Same-time Information Power System • Hydroelectric Optimization in Developing Countries • Distributed Generation Technology in Restructured Power Systems • Modeling Electric Utility Markets Outside the United States • Power Transmission Pricing and Congestion Management

INDUSTRY REPRESENTATION • Several industry representatives are invited every semester as guest speakers to discuss the practical aspects of electricity restructuring with students. • Some of the research students in the power group at IIT are also invited to make short presentations and give demos in power courses at the end of each topic and discuss plans for future of the research and development.

Power Situation in India Structure:
ENROLLMENT • There were about 35 students enrolled in each of the above three courses when they were offered at IIT during the lat two years. • A total of 55 graduate students are majoring in power engineering in the ECE Department at IIT. • The restructuring courses are televised in the Chicago area and several of the power engineering courses at IIT are offered on the Internet.
DISTANCE LEARNING • Each semester between 120 and 150 courses are broadcasted live using analog and digital microwave to over 45 locations throughout northern Illinois, and via videoconferencing to sites worldwide.
