The Role of Power Electronics in Modern Energy System Integration

Abstract

This monograph will discuss different aspects of power electronics in modern energy systems. The transition from conventional, centralized power systems with large-scale generations to modern, deregulated systems with distributed generations is discussed. Furthermore, the function of some dominant green energy generation technologies based on power electronics is explained. Moreover, the fundamentals of the control and operation of modern systems with power electronics-based generations are presented in this monograph. The major technical challenges that are deteriorating the overall system performance and reliability are addressed and feasible solutions are explained
