In this groundbreaking book, energy systems modelling expert Dr Gregor Czisch analyses electricity supply options for Europe and its neighbouring regions.

The comprehensive and systematic overview of system level microgrid control with examples and case studies; covering dynamic modelling, frequency and voltage regulation, autonomous microgrids, risk-averse transactive energy management, and laboratory validation, and case studies.

This book takes a critical look at the physical storage of electricity in the devices known collectively as electrochemical capacitors and particularly as ultracapacitors.

The new edition of this systematic reference about clean power from tides and waves. Chapters cover a wider range of wave and tidal devices, onshore AC sub-stations, practicability and deploy-ability, and lessons from offshore wind and other maritime industries.

This book provides an overview of most aspects of electrical protections. The emphasis is on distribution systems, but protection of generation and transmission systems are also treated. For this 4th edition, new topics are added, such as protection of renewable power plants and transient stability analysis.

Blockchain technology for smart grids holds great promise for grid management and secure transactions. Written by an international team, this timely work introduces the concept of blockchain and covers applications in smart grids, including sensors, security and privacy, AI and the use of cryptocurrencies for energy transactions.

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.

The hands-on reference of digital technology for using PV systems, especially in remote or harsh environments. Topics include transformers, micro-inverter, distribution automation, PV powered water pumping, power point and solar tracking, soiling and cleaning, IoT based PV module cooling, storage and energy management.
