This book presents comprehensive coverage of the means to integrate renewable power, namely wind and solar power. It looks at new approaches to meet the challenges, such as increasing interconnection capacity among geographical areas, hybridisation of different distributed energy resources and building up demand response capabilities.

A concise treatise on the modelling, technology and deployment of distributed small wind systems, covering VAWT and HAWT as well as ducted turbines in different situations including smart grids and offers a case study.

Demand response (DR) describes controlled changes in the power consumption whose role is to better match the power demand with the supply. This reference, written by an international team of experts from academia and industry, covers the principles, implementation and applications of DR.

This book covers the very latest in theory and technology for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT), for both coupling as well as radiative WPT. It describes the theory as well as the technology and applications.

The transformation of the electricity sector is highly complex, including integration of large shares of renewables, storage, forecasting and modelling, biofuels, and electricity markets. This book provides clarity on the interlinked processes of the transformation towards 100 percent renewable power.

This book discusses the connection of generation to distribution networks and then moves on to consider how sustainable generation can be fully integrated into the operation of the power system.

Using PV modules on top of agricultural fields offers a twofold advantage; generating clean energy and shielding crops. This systematic and comprehensive book provides an overview of agrivoltaics, covering technology as well as social, ecological, economic and regulatory aspects.

This comprehensive reference on the urban energy transition covers the technologies available for upgrading urban power grids, which will enable them to work with distributed renewable power and varying loads.
