This book addresses the emerging concepts, methodologies and applications of wide area monitoring, control and protection in power systems with integrated large scale renewables. Chapters cover monitoring, modelling and validation, control, and data mining with an emphasis on synchrophasor technology, and experiences with real power grids.

Providing an overview of modelling and understanding lightning-related effects on complex power and telecommunications systems, this book explores both traditional transmission-line theory as well as the state-of-the art finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method.

The transformation of the electricity sector is highly complex, including integration of large shares of renewables, storage, forecasting and modelling, biofuels, and electricity markets. This book provides clarity on the interlinked processes of the transformation towards 100 percent renewable power.

This book provides an overview of key dielectric materials for capacitor technology. It covers preparation and characterization of state-of-the art dielectric materials including ceramics, polymers and polymer nanocomposites, for popular applications including energy storage, microwave communication and multi-layer ceramic capacitors.

This book provides researchers with a concise overview of the status of thin-film solar cell technology and characterization. Chapters describe material systems and their properties, and then provide an in-depth look at relevant characterization methods and the learning facilitated by each of these.

This work, written by researchers with broad expertise and a successful publication record, provides a systematic overview of a modern power system with renewable energy. It summarizes renewable energy and storage, and describes the system working with technologies, including EV and cyber security.

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.

This book presents the main advanced signal processing techniques for fault detection and diagnosis in electromechanical systems. It focuses on presenting these advanced tools from time-frequency representation and time-scale analysis to demodulation techniques, including innovative and recently developed approaches.
