This book describes the latest technology in microgrids and economic, environmental and policy aspects of their implementation, including microgrids for cold regions, and future trends. The aim of this work is to give this complete overview of the latest technology around the world, and the interrelation with clean energy systems.

Wave and tidal energy engineering has developed strongly in the past decade, with 100MW arrays of full-scale grid-connected wave and tidal devices planned for the next few years. This book provides an electrical engineering perspective on these offshore power stations and their integration to the grid.

The comprehensive reference of deploying clean energy in the boom region of Vietnam and SE Asia; covering potentials, forecasting, grid connection and smart grid technology, economical and social aspects, and circular economy. Edited by a team from industry and universities.

This work supports the goal of achieving affordable and clean energy, with a focus on low income and remote communities. Chapters cover deployment of solar systems, small wind turbines, run-of-river hydropower, storage, water desalination, and case studies.

Thermal energy from green sources is indispensable to combating climate change. This concise work covers thermal energy storage, networks, thermal performance buildings, and integration with electric power grids.

In an era of increasing contributions from intermittent renewable resources, energy storage is becoming more important to ensure a resilient/reliable electricity supply. This book presents the technology, integration and market aspects of energy storage in the various generation, transmission, distribution, and customer levels of the grid.

A systematic overview of the state of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) technology, covering the key components and principal types of systems in the order of technical maturity: diabatic, adiabatic, and isothermal. Existing major systems and prototypes and economics are also addressed.

Offshore energy hubs collect and manage power from wind and PV farms. This book covers all essential aspects of this key infrastructure, including topologies, civil engineering, HV technology, storage and hydrogen, black start capability, and economics.
