About the Book:

Higher integration of variable renewable generation into existing grid systems creates both opportunities and operational challenges for power systems. The intermittent nature of renewable generation is one of the major obstacles, which does not follow any constant and reliable patterns for electricity supply as compared to traditional and centralized generation facilities. Apart from their intermittent nature, most of these sources do not contribute to system reserves and to total system inertia. The collective penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources (RESs) exaggerates the inconsistency and variability of the power supply, thus disturbing the grid reliability and optimum operation of conventional power systems. The operational characteristics of existing power networks are affected and it drives the system towards the problems of instability and deteriorated power quality. The overall management of the power systems integrated with renewable generators has become necessary to overcome the technical, economic, and environmental challenges associated with them to provide a secure and reliable supply of electricity.  Hence, there is a rising interest to develop more effective control techniques to regulate the system frequency and to avoid a network collapse during power distribution in the presence of RES-based units. Therefore, the main aim of the proposed book is to present the latest control strategies, advanced methods for attaining stable and reliable power system operation in the company of RESs in the modern power system.
