Control circuits are a key element in the operation and performance of power electronics converters. This book describes practical issues related to the design and implementation of these control circuits, with a focus on the presentation of the state-of-the-art control solution…
This book includes 21 chapters that discusses the following topics: Towards the new trend of power grids; Wind energy; Solar energy; Ocean energy: tidal energy; Ocean energy: wave and thermal energy; Biomass energy; Electrical energy storage; Mechanical energy storage systems; C…
The book consists of 13 chapters and addresses three different mainstream technical challenges of microgrid - variability, scalability, and stability. With the term 'variability', the voltage and frequency fluctuations inside and outside microgrid boundaries are referred. On the…
The supply of energy from renewables is not constant, and energy storage is essential in enabling higher shares of renewable energy. This 3rd Edition has been thoroughly revised, reviewing different types of renewables and considering possibilities arising from integrating a com…
Unregulated distributed energy sources such as solar roofs and windmills and electric vehicle requirements for intermittent battery charging are variable sources either of electricity generation or demand. These sources impose additional intermittent load on conventional electri…
The book is divided into three parts - control circuits, power architectures, and real-world applications. The first part comprises seven chapters, which provides a comprehensive overview of different control approaches focused both on local control functions of individual conve…
The book provides engineering students, as well as engineers and technicians interested in industrial power distribution and renewable energy systems with essential knowledge of the major technologies, their fundamental principles, characteristics, and how they work and how they…
High quality electrical service is everyday more stringent in utilities and industrial facilities around the world. One of the main players to achieve this is the protection system, which has to be reliable, fast and with a good cost/benefit ratio. This book refers to most aspec…
The book presents a modelling framework for integrated steady-state optimisation of energy service networks under the presence of embedded technologies; time-coordinated optimal power flow for energy service networks; on load tap changers; combined heat and power generation and;…
This book focuses on the challenges of rural electrification, particularly in poorer regions. It covers low voltage DC distribution system for various applications including charging of electric vehicles (EV).
