Harvesting biomechanical energy is a viable solution for sustainably-powering wearable electronics for continuous medical health monitoring, remote sensing, and motion tracking. This book discusses vibration-based piezoelectric, electromagnetic and hybrid energy harvesters, and addresses their modelling, fabrication and characterization.

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.

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 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.

This reference on smart grids for residential areas covers algorithms for sizing, economic dispatch, assessment of configuration of renewable energy systems, EV, optimization and sizing of hybrid systems for residential areas, as well as 100% green hybrid energy systems.

Key reading on optimization algorithms for the design of smart grids. After summarizing smart grid concepts and strategies, chapters cover demand response, power quality parameters, frequency and voltage control, fault identification and protection, as well as smart communication.

This practical reference covers the key concepts and technologies of nano- and picogrids in conjunction with connected generation, EV charging, IoT and cloud computing, and power quality and protection issues. Case studies help provide a full understanding of the concepts explored.

This expanded and updated second edition covers advanced data-driven signal processing techniques for the analysis of power system data and transient oscillations in power grids. New content includes new architectures for smart grids and microgrids, multitemporal data fusion, deep learning, multichannel phasor measurement.
