[PDF] Smart Grid Systems Modeling and Control - Ebook Free

Electric power systems are being transformed from older grids to smart
grids across the globe. The main aim of this transition is to meet the current
needs such as reducing carbon footprints, finding alternate decaying fossil
fuel, eradicate the losses in the available system, and introduce the latest
technologies of information and communication technologies (ICT). Smart
grid development advances drastically along with the continuing growth
of renewable energy technologies, especially wind and solar power, the
growth of electric vehicle, and the huge demand for electricity.

The aim of this book is to introduce the smart grid and provide a basic
understanding. The volume also focuses on recent technological advancements in smart grids. The book is organized as below:

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the smart grid, along with its
needs, benefits, challenges, existing structure, and possible future
technologies.
Chapter 2 discusses solar photovoltaic (PV) system modeling and
control along with battery storage, which is a part of smart grids.
Chapter 3 covers the issues and challenges of wind turbines connected
to the grid and also discusses the various advances in the fault ride
through capability with solutions.
Chapter 4 discusses the control strategies for renewable energy
systems. In this chapter, control strategies for solar PV, wind, and the
hybrid systems are described in detail.
Chapter 5 focuses on power electronic converters, which are used to
improve the characteristic of renewable power generation to match
with the grid capability. This chapter details various topologies that
have been developed recently for the grid applications.
Chapter 6 describes the inverter topologies adopted in integrating the
renewable power generated to the grid. The chapter also compares
various inverter configurations suitable for microgrids.
Chapter 7 deals with the basics of an energy storage system and its need
for microgrids. A case study with a hybrid storage system is discussed
in detail.
Chapter 8 describes various forecast techniques for renewable energy
systems such as solar and wind. This chapter provides an in-depth
understanding of various forecast algorithms with a case study and
comparison of different forecasting techniques.
Chapter 9 covers the basics and structure of the energy management
system in a smart grid. This chapter includes advanced metering,
various communication protocols, and the cyber security challenges
in the smart grid.
Chapter 10 focuses on the electric vehicle technology and its interaction with a smart grid. The impact of integrating electric vehicles
with smart grids has been detailed along with the potential impact and
challenges.
Finally, Chapter 11 discusses various challenges and research perspectives in smart grids. An overview of the current status of smart grids in
different countries are discussed along with the challenges and benefits.
