Advanced Grid Technologies, Volume 1: Grid Evolution, Smart Grid Fundamentals, and Renewable Energy Integration

By Haris M. Khalid, Abdalla Ismail Alzarooni, S.M. Muyeen

Advanced Grid Technologies: Grid Evolution, Smart Grid Fundamentals, and Renewable Energy Integration, Volume One provides a coherent, practical introduction to the innovative, modern techniques required to integrate renewable energy into power grids. The book focuses on the basic history of the grid, fundamental aspects of grid management, and the challenges set by renewable integration. It begins by outlining the history of the modern energy grid before providing a comprehensive overview of renewable energy sources, the challenges their use present for typical energy grids, and the fundamentals of modern smart adaptations.

Specific major challenges are broken down into fundamentals, including electric vehicles and vehicle-to-grid, energy storage, intelligent electronic device-based substations, and demand forecasting for energy stability. Including a variety of numerical examples and working from early principles for each topic, this book provides late-stage undergraduate and graduate students in energy systems and power engineering, as well as engineers working to modernize the power grid, with a fundamental resource for renewable energy integration.
