Power system economics course design with energy planning, operation and market cases

Abstract

The “Power System Economics: Design and Analysis” for students majoring in electrical engineering is a graduate course to teach the basic concepts. The analysis methods and basic concepts of economic problems involved in electric power are of great significance to help students understand the content of economics of electric power system. This paper reforms and redesigns the teaching methods and teaching forms through the combination of curriculum theory and programming practice to improve the innovation and creativity of students. The students could share and show their achievement through their own designs, such as self-designed small games and WeChat small procedures, and the value of this course is greatly enhanced compared to the traditional course.
