Hybrid Energy Systems
Planning, operation and optimization
Edited by Huu Hieu Nguyen, Van Ga Bui, Thanh Viet Dinh, Minh Quan Duong, Tran T. Hoang
Hybrid energy systems are essential for combining different clean generation technologies into a clean and stable power system, incorporating solar, wind and hydropower, as well as energy storage solutions.
This book is written by a group of experts from Asia and Europe, bringing together expertise in handling power distribution for regions with high population density, where demand for electricity is high and continues to rise. Hybrid energy systems are explored in the context of this high-demand environment.
Chapters cover stability analysis, various combinations of generators such as wind and solar, and solar-wind-biomass, harmonizing PV and wind, energy storage, operation and planning, distributed optimization, reactive power management, energy management in smart mesh networks, hybrid renewable energy integration in smart grids, and microgrids, transaction strategies in energy markets, smart transmission, optimization algorithms for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of PV under shading, and distribution networks with shunt capacitors and on-site generation. Case studies reinforce the lessons learned.
Hybrid Energy Systems: Planning, operation and optimization is written by and for researchers and practitioners involved with energy systems, and will also be of interest to grid and utility operators and policy makers in the energy engineering field.
