Modeling and Control of Modern Electrical Energy Systems

Book excerpt: Modeling and Control of Modern Electrical Energy Systems A step-by-step approach to the modeling, analysis, and control of modern electronically controlled energy systems In Modeling and Control of Modern Electrical Energy Systems, distinguished researcher Dr. Masoud Karimi-Ghartemani delivers a comprehensive discussion of distributed and renewable energy resource integration from a control system perspective. The book explores various practical aspects of these systems, including the power extraction control of renewable resources and size selection of short-term storage components. The interactions of distributed energy resources (DERs) with the rest of the electric power system are presented, as is a discussion of the ability of the DER to ride through grid voltage faults and frequency swings. Readers will also discover how to derive mathematical models of different types of energy systems and build simulation models for those systems. Modeling and Control of Electrical Energy Systems provides end-of chapter examples and problems, as well as: A thorough introduction to power electronic conversion, including power electronics and standard power electronic converters An in-depth treatment of feedback control systems, including frequency-domain (transfer function) approaches and time-domain (state space) approaches Comprehensive discussions of direct current DERs and single-phase alternating current DERs Fulsome explorations of three-phase distributed energy resources Perfect for researchers, practitioners, and professors with an interest in electronically interfaced modern energy systems, Modeling and Control of Modern Electrical Energy Systems will also earn a place in the libraries of senior undergraduate and graduate students of electrical engineering.
