Throughout the world there is concern over the impact of energy use
on the environment (particularly CO2 emissions) and also over the
security of fossil fuel supplies. Consequently, governments and
energy planners are actively encouraging alternative and cleaner
forms of energy production such as renewables (e.g. wind, solar,
biomass) and combined heat and power (CHP). The economics and
locations of sustainable energy sources have meant that many of
these new generators are connected into distribution networks. It
is recognized that the information flow and control of distribution
networks is inadequate for these future low-carbon electricity
supply systems. The future distribution network will change its
operation from passive to active, and the distributed generators
will be controlled to support the operation of the power system. In
many countries this transformation of electricity supply is managed
through energy markets and privately owned, regulated transmission
and distribution systems. This book discusses the connection of
generation to distribution networks and then moves on to consider
how sustainable generation can be fully integrated into the
operation of the power system. Both technical and economic aspects
are addressed. It is written for later-year undergraduate and
postgraduate students studying courses on energy. The book has four
tutorial chapters (with examples and questions) to provide
fundamental material for those without a strong electrical
engineering background.
