NM-AIST Objectives
To develop modules to be incorporated in the existing curriculum
(Masters and PhD in Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering –
SESE) whereby Smart Grids is added as one of the specialties.
The focus is on smart renewable energy mini/micro grids for rural
electrification. The modules will address among others the
challenges related to energy demand gap, energy efficiency, and
improving energy access to the rural poor communities.

WP 4.1: Develop concepts for the laboratory Smart Off-Grid SysteMs LAb (SOMA): While smart grid courses will teach the basics of smart grid management and smart grid security to improve the reliability of smart grids, the laboratory will supplement smart grid courses and research. It will help understand the fundamentals of smart off-grid power systems for rural environment, main components, operation, management, data security and privacy, planning and different hierarchical control levels provided in smart grids.

13WP 4.4: Organization of courses
Status of curriculum accreditation:
Curricula for MSc and PhD in Sustainable
Energy Science and Engineering was re-
accredited by Tanzania Commission for
Universities (TCU) on 09th July 2020.
One of the specialties in MSc programme
is “Smart Grid Technology”
Students pursuing PhD by Research and
Thesis can also specialize in “Smart Grid
Technology”, can attend few courses in
Smart Grid as directed by the supervisor.
14WP 4.4&5: Organization of courses and teaching
The new and adapted courses have been included in the university prospectus
which will soon be uploaded in the university website.
No student has been recruited in the specialty of “Smart Grid Technology” for
this academic year which started in January, 2021.
FOUR (2 MSc and 2 PhD) students have been admitted under re-accredited
curricula specializing in “Renewable Energy Engineering”.
However, they will undertake one course in the area of smart grid technology
developed under DAMOC, the course name is Renewable Energy Systems in
Smart Grids, to be offered in the second semester starting 14th June 2021.

17WP 4.5: Teaching (NM-AIST Academic Year)
The basic accounting period for teaching and learning at NM-AIST is the
academic year. The first academic year is divided into two semesters; each
comprising 18 weeks with 15 weeks of teaching, one week of study break and
2 weeks of examinations. There is a 3-week vacation between semesters.
First Semester starts in January and Second semester in June/July
November/December – Proposal defense and submission.
From the second academic year, students are fully engaged in research.
18WP 4.6: Evaluation Preparation
Evaluation is done as follows:
Evaluation of students’ knowledge and performance: assignments, tutorials,
tests, exams, practicals, etc. by instructors. [40% course work & 60% UE]
Evaluation of the course/programme, teaching materials and instructor’s
performance is done by students using special developed questionnaires by
our Quality Assurance office.
Quality Assurance office analyses information from students and prepares a
report which is share to schools to check areas that need improvements.
Timeframe for programme review is every after 3 – 5 years. (TCU)

teaching materials for the smart
grid courses. The focus was on
practical lab tasks in data security
and data protection in Smart Grid
systems. This included task such
as, using the NM-AIST lab
equipment for simulating different
attack scenarios e.g. network
traffic sniffing, man-in-the-middle
attacks and power load analyses
for user behavior tracking.Student/Staff Exchange:
1 Student: TUD → NM-AIST, Tanzania:
o March, 2019 – to June, 2019.
He assisted on the development of
teaching materials for practical labs
in the new smart grid courses on
data security and data protection.
o Developed a tool for visual
analysis of open source energy
consumption data.Student/Staff Exchange:
2 Students: NM-AIST → SU, South Africa
o February 4, 2019 – April 13, 2019 and Nov 18, 2019 to January 31, 2020
Attended some courses on smart
grid technology and renewable
energy technology which were
very essential to their research.Student/Staff Exchange: 2 Junior Faculty: NM-AIST → Karlstad University, Sweden November, 2018 Attended training as part of the project to exchange knowledge between all the participants and had the chance to learn more about data security, data privacy and its relation to smart grid.
