Modeling and control of sustainable power systems: towards smarter and greener electric grids

The concept of the smart grid promises the world an efficient and intelligentapproach of managing energy production, transportation, and consumption by incorporating intelligence, efficiency, and optimality into the power grid. Bothenergy providers and consumers can take advantage of the convenience, reliability, and energy savings achieved by real-time and intelligent energy management. To this end, the current power grid is experiencing drastic changes and upgrades. For instance, more significant green energy resources such as wind power and solar power are being integrated into the power grid, and higher energystorage capacity is being installed in order to mitigate the intermittency issues brought about by the variable energy resources. At the same time, novel power electronics technologies and operating strategies are being invented and adopted. For instance, Flexible AC transmission systems and phasor measurementunits are two promising technologies for improving the power system reliability and power quality. Demand side management will enable the customers to manage the power loads in an active fashion. As a result, modeling and control of modern power grids pose great challenges due to the adoption of new smart gridtechnologies. In this book, chapters regarding representative applications ofsmart grid technologies written by world-renowned experts are included, whichexplain in detail various innovative modeling and control methods. State-of-the-Art in Modeling and Control of Sustainable Power Systems. Explains key applications of smart grid technologies through clear examples, all of which are based on practical problems in modern electric power industries.
