Analyses and Designs Related to Renewable Energy Systems

  • Chapter
Power Conversion of Renewable Energy Systems

Abstract

Chapters 1–11 including the examples are appropriate for an introductory undergraduate course on energy conversion and renewable energy. The following examples in Chap. 12 encompass entire energy systems which include transformer, electric machine systems/drives, centralized (conventional) power system, distribution system analysis with/without power factor compensation, design of power plants and renewable energy storage facilities, photovoltaic, wind, and fuel-cell systems as well as examples associated with the smart grid. This very broad menu of examples can be the topics of a graduate course where the above-mentioned undergraduate course is a prerequisite.
