This book covers the development, modelling and simulation for high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission systems. The title also covers the electromagnetic transient model, electromechanical transient model and the dynamic average model, with the electromagnetic transient model being emphasised.

Power devices are key to modern power systems, performing functions such as inverting and changing voltages, buffering and switching. Following a device-centric approach, this book covers power electronic applications, semiconductor physics, materials science, application engineering, and key technologies such as MOSFET, IGBT and WBG.

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.

Cogeneration refers to the use of a power station to deliver two or more useful forms of energy, for example, to generate electricity and heat at the same time. This book provides an integrated treatment of cogeneration, including a tour of the available technologies and their features, and how these systems can be analysed and optimised.
