Offering a comprehensive and structured overview of deploying energy storage for renewables in urban areas, this book covers grid resilience, EV usage and charging infrastructure, standards and grid codes, monitoring and power quality, hosting capacity, intelligent electricity markets, and integrated operation.

An authoritative overview of the technology for tidal energy generation as reliable clean power source, this book presents the principles, conversion drivetrain design options, control, resilience and fault-tolerant control, monitoring as well as the specific issue of biofouling.

A concise work on photovoltaics research, development and operation in desert regions to tap their enormous solar potential. Chapters cover energy yield under desert conditions, cells and bifacial modules, soiling, a case study from Australia, conclusions and future outlooks.

Power converters are vital for clean power, and so is their control. This book covers recent advances in converter control, comparing control methods for different converters. Chapters present control of DC-DC and AC-DC converters, for example using sliding mode and robust control.

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.

Understanding lightning is of importance due to the increase in extreme weather events. The 2nd edition of this classic work has been thoroughly updated and revised, with new content on EM radiation at various wavelengths. Volume 1 treats electrodynamics, whilst volume 2 addresses effects and modelling.
