Distributed power generation is a technology that could help to
enable efficient, renewable energy production both in the developed
and developing world. It includes all use of small electric power
generators, whether located on the utility system, at the site of a
utility customer, or at an isolated site not connected to the power
grid. Induction generators (IGs) are the cheapest and most commonly
used technology, compatible with renewable energy resources.
Permanent magnet (PM) generators have traditionally been avoided
due to high fabrication costs; however, compared with IGs they are
more reliable and productive
Distributed Generation thoroughly examines the principles,
possibilities and limitations of creating energy with both IGs they
are more reliable and productive.
Distributed Generation thoroughly examines the principles,
possibilities and limitations of creating energy with both IGs and
PM generators. It takes an electrical engineering approach in the
analysis and testing of these generators, and includes diagrams and
extensive case study examples o better demonstrate how the
integration of energy sources can be accomplished. The book also
provides the practical tools needed to model and implement new
techniques for generating energy through isolated or grid-connected
systems.
Besides a chapter introducing the technical, econo9mic and
environmental impact so distributed generation, this book includes:
an examination of various phase-balancing schemes for a three-phase
IG operating on a single-phase power system; a coupled circuit 2-D
finite element analysis of a grid-connected IG, with Steinmetz
connection; a study of self-excited induction generator
(SEIG)schemes for autonomous power systems, and the voltage and
frequency control of SEIG with a slip-ring machine (SESRIG); a
report on a PM synchronous generator with inset rotor for achieving
a reduced voltage regulation, and an analysis of its performance
using a two-axis model and finite element method; experimental work
on various IG and SEIG schemes.
This book is a must-read for engineers, consultants,
regulators, and environmentalists involved in energy production and
delivery, helping them to evaluate renewable energy sources and to
integrate these into an efficient energy delivery system. It is
also a superior reference for undergraduates and postgraduates.
Designers, operators, and planners will appreciate its unique
contribution to the literature in this field.
