Course requirements:

• Attendance of lectures
• In the end of the course, students working in small teams will be required to submit system concepts of intelligent energy application as one-page documents. The best student teams will get to present their concepts for intelligent energy applications in the final class meeting. The presentations will not be a passing grade requirement; rather they will provide the students an opportunity to get interest from faculty working in the subject area.

Homework: This is a seminar course and no homework will be assigned.

Grading: CR/NC

Prerequisites: (helpful but not mandatory) Stat 116; EE263 or Eng 207a; EE278 or Eng 207b; basic communications

Catalog description: The key systems engineering steps for design of automated systems in application to of existing and future intelligent energy systems. Existing design approaches and practices for the energy systems. Every second lecture of the course will be a guest lecture discussing the communication system design for a certain type of energy system. They will alternate with guest lectures discussing the on-line analytical functions.
