This book outlines the challenges that increasing amounts of renewable
and distributed energy represent when integrated into established
electricity grid infrastructures, offering a range of potential
solutions that will support engineers, grid operators, system planners,
utilities, and policymakers alike in their efforts to realize the vision
of moving toward greener, more secure energy portfolios. Covering all
major renewable sources, from wind and solar, to waste energy and
hydropower, the authors highlight case studies of successful integration
scenarios to demonstrate pathways toward overcoming the complexities
created by variable and distributed generation.
