Advanced Grid Technologies, Volume 2: Communication Networks, Internet-of-Things, Security Layers, Economics, and Policies provides a coherent, practical introduction to the innovative modern techniques required to integrate renewable energy into power grids. This book focuses on essential intelligence technologies for markets, security, and demand response, as well as policy and the solutions each presents to the challenges set by renewable integration. This second volume begins by outlining the major challenges renewable-integrated grids present for communication and security, and provides a clear, coherent comparison between the fundamentals of two potential approaches. An introduction to resilience and stability in the face of unexpected events is provided, including event-triggered control. Finally, the essential aspects of economics and policy are outlined, and the use of Data Centers for mitigating energy management challenges are explained. Including a variety of numerical examples and working from early principles for each topic, Advanced Grid Technologies, Volume 2: Communication Networks, Internet-of-Things, Security Layers, Economics, and Policies 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.

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.

“Stability Augmentation of a Grid-connected Wind Farm” introduces a comprehensive approach to stabilizing the power output from wind farms, covering both fixed and variable speed wind turbine generator systems. The book presents the different tools suitable for application in wind farms, together with modeling and control strategies. The book reports on output power and terminal voltage fluctuation minimization, using the integration of energy storage systems with power electronic converters. Transient stability enhancement of the power systems is also discussed. “Stability Augmentation of a Grid-connected Wind Farm” provides advanced tools with detailed modeling and controller design, including extensive simulation results.
