This book focuses on the issues of integrating large-scale renewable
power generation into existing grids. The issues covered in this book
include different types of renewable power generation along with their
transmission and distribution, storage and protection. It also contains
the development of medium voltage converters for
step-up-transformer-less direct grid integration of renewable generation
units, grid codes and resiliency analysis for large-scale renewable
power generation, active power and frequency control and HVDC
transmission. The emerging SMES technology for controlling and
integrating large-scale renewable power systems is also discussed. Since
the protection issues with large-scale distributed renewable power
systems are different compared to the existing protection system for one
way power flow, this book includes a new protection technique for
renewable generators along with the inclusion of current status of smart
grid. This book is a good reference for the researchers who are working
the area of renewable power generation and smart grids.
