A companion to Embedded Generation (IET, 2000), this book is a timely
publication for an evolving industry. Renewable energy, ancillary
services and deregulation of the power industry are changing electricity
delivery networks. Microgrids, smartgrids and active distribution
networks require a sound understanding of the basic concepts, generation
technologies, impacts, operation, control and management, economic
viability and market participation involved in grid integration.
Practicing engineers in utilities and industry, researchers and students
will appreciate this lucid description of the technologies that will
enable future electricity systems.
