Nonlinear power flow control design: utilizing exergy, entropy, static and dynamic stability, and Lyapunov analysis

This book presents an innovative control system design process motivated by renewable energy electric grid integration problems. The concepts developed result from the convergence of research and development goals which have important concepts in common: exergy flow, limit cycles, and balance between competingpower flows. A unique set of criteria is proposed to design controllers for aclass of nonlinear systems. A combination of thermodynamics with Hamiltonian systems provides the theoretical foundation which is then realized in a seriesof connected case studies. It allows the process of control design to be viewed as a power flow control problem, balancing the power flowing into a system against that being dissipated within it and dependent on the power being stored in it – an interplay between kinetic and potential energies. Human factors and the sustainability of self-organizing systems are dealt with as advanced topics. Shows the reader effective methods for integrating renewable and conventional sources of electricity into a power grid. Integrates the effects of human interaction with energy grids. Employs a combination of ideas from many disciplines to allow the reader to judge the amount of useful energy available at any one time. INDICE: Part I: Theory. Introduction. Thermodynamics.
