This book provides an overview of recent research activities in the control, protection and architectural design of a number of different types of DC distribution systems and microgrids. Practical requirements and implementation details of several types of DC distribution systems used in real world industrial applications are also given.

This book describes the systems and equipment used for measuring and controlling boilers and heat-recovery steam-generators used in land and marine power plant and in process industries. It provides a practical guide to the design, installation, operation and maintenance of these systems.

Batteries are vital for storing renewable energy for stationary and mobile applications. Managing batteries requires knowledge of parameters such as charge and power output. State estimation estimates such parameters using measurement and modelling; a process conveyed in this book through experimental results and verification.

This work conveys the use of time synchronized measurements of voltages or currents for planning and operation of electricity grids. Such so-called synchrophasors are key to managing complex grids with rising shares of intermittent renewables and varying loads from EV.

This concise review covers the recent advances in development of environmentally friendly high voltage switching equipment, addressing both AC and DC interruption in modern power networks. Applications of DC at different voltage levels for various purposes are covered.

Transformers convert electric power from one voltage system to another. They are essential for electric power systems. This book covers key developments in high voltage transformer technology that are critical to adapting power systems to rising shares of renewables.

The hands-on review of islanding phenomena in electricity grids. Chapters cover definitions and principles of grid types and islanding, causes of formation, operation and stability, network restoration, detection of islanding, grid and plant protection, modelling and simulation, and practical examples.

Grid monitoring is vital for flexibility and renewable energy integration. The new edition of this successful work on synchrophasor technology covers the recent developments including cyber-security, cyber-physical attack detection, and ancillary services.
