Distributed Power Generation - Planning and Evaluation (Hardcover)

This watershed reference explains distributed power generation systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and electric utility applications, objectively evaluating capabilities and limitations; carefully selecting where, when, and how they should be used; and thoroughly assessing layout and design possibilities. Offers detailed chapter-by-chapter case studies worked out in basic and sensitivity or alternative scenario variations focusing on the selection of DG and DG performance Placing DG in context through a series of tutorial background discussions, Distributed Power Generation examines the major types of distributed generators by category, including piston-driven and turbine, fuel cell, and renewable energy provides an overview of distributed and dispersed generation systems covers reliability and availability from the perspective of the customer and the electric utility focuses on time value of money concepts and their pragmatic application as decision-making tools looks at the cost, performance, and environmental impact of solar, wind, and low head hydro power explores energy storage systems including battery, flywheel, capacitors, and superconducting coil technologies investigates how demand and power generation vary over time, interact, and impact DG needs analyzes the application of predictive reliability methods to estimate the energy availability of a proposed DG design demonstrates the complexities involved in designing renewable systems to quantitative availability standards shows how equipment characteristics are optimized using simulation design methods details how and where unintentional or intentional bias can be hidden in a planning study and more Comparing DG to electric power systems and considering why it has become so competitive and desirable, Distributed Power Generation is a comprehensive reference ideal for power, electrical and electronics, industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical e
