A major concern of island power systems is frequency stability. A
power system is said to be frequency stable if its generators are
able to supply their loads at a frequency within acceptable limits
after a disturbance. Frequency instability occurs if
load-generation imbalances are not corrected in appropriate manner
and time. Since island power systems are more sensitive to
frequency instability than large ones due to the smaller number of
generators online and the lower inertia, they require a larger
amount of primary reserve per generator. This book provides a
worldwide overview of island power systems, describing their main
features and issues. Split into two parts, the first part examines
the technical operation, and in particular, frequency stability of
island power systems and its technical solutions, including more
efficient underfrequency load-shedding schemes. The chapters
explore both conventional and advanced load-shedding schemes and
consider the improvement of these schemes by making them more
robust and efficient. Advanced devices are modelled and analyzed to
enhance frequency stability and reduce the need for load shedding.
In the second part, the economic operation of island power systems
is explored in detail. For that purpose, regulations and economic
operations (centralized vs. market scheme) are reviewed by the
authors. The authors discuss models for renewable energy sources
and for advanced devices and systems such as demand-side
management, energy storage systems, and electric vehicles. This
book will be critical reading to all researchers and professionals
in power system planning and engineering, electrical/power
delivery, RES and control engineering. It will also be of interest
to researchers in signal processing and telecommunications and
renewable energy, as well as power system utility providers.
