Design of Smart Power Grid Renewable Energy Systems

<p><b>The Updated Third Edition Provides a Systems Approach to Sustainable Green Energy Production and Contains Analytical Tools for the Design of Renewable Microgrids</b> </p> <p>The revised third edition of <i>Design of Smart Power Grid Renewable Energy Systems </i>integrates three areas of electrical engineering: power systems, power electronics, and electric energy conversion systems. The book also addresses the fundamental design of wind and photovoltaic (PV) energy microgrids as part of smart-bulk power-grid systems.</p> <p>In order to demystify the complexity of the integrated approach, the author first presents the basic concepts, and then explores a simulation test bed in MATLAB® in order to use these concepts to solve a basic problem in the development of smart grid energy system. Each chapter offers a problem of integration and describes why it is important. Then the mathematical model of the problem is formulated, and the solution steps are outlined. This step is followed by developing a MATLAB® simula­tion test bed. This important book:</p> <ul> <li>Reviews the basic principles underlying power systems</li> <li>Explores topics including: AC/DC rectifiers, DC/AC inverters, DC/DC converters, and pulse width modulation (PWM) methods</li> <li>Describes the fundamental concepts in the design and operation of smart grid power grids</li> <li>Supplementary material includes a solutions manual and PowerPoint presentations for instructors</li> </ul> <p>Written for undergraduate and graduate students in electric power systems engineering, researchers, and industry professionals, the revised third edition of <i>Design of Smart Power Grid Renewable Energy Systems </i>is a guide to the fundamental concepts of power grid integration on microgrids of green energy sources. </p>
