The Smart Grid : Adapting the Power System to New Challenges Paperback / softback
by Math Bollen
Part of the Synthesis Lectures on Power Electronics series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book links the challenges to which the electricity network is exposed with the range of new technology, methodologies and market mechanisms known under the name ""smart grid."" The main challenges will be described by the way in which they impact the electricity network: the introduction of renewable electricity production, energy efficiency, the introduction and further opening of the electricity market, increasing demands for reliability and voltage quality, and the growing need for more transport capacity in the grid.
Three fundamentally different types of solutions are distinguished in this book: solutions only involving the electricity network (like HVDC and active distribution networks), solutions including the network users but under the control of the network operator (like requirements on production units and curtailment), and fully market-driven solutions (like demand response).
An overview is given of the various solutions to the challenges that are possible with new technology; this includes some that are actively discussed elsewhere and others that are somewhat forgotten. Linking the different solutions with the needs of the electricity network, in the light of the various challenges, is a recurring theme in this book.
