Traditionally, power engineering has been a subfield of energy
engineering and electrical engineering which deals with the
generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electric
power and the electrical devices connected to such systems
including generators, motors and transformers. Implicitly this
perception is associated with the generation of power in large
hydraulic, thermal and nuclear plants and distributed consumption.
Faced with the climate change phenomena, humanity has had to now
contend with changes in attitudes in respect of environment
protection and depletion of classical energy resources. These have
had consequences in the power production sector, already faced with
negative public opinions on nuclear energy and favorable perception
of renewable energy resources and about distributed power
generation. The objective of this edited book is to review all
these changes and to present solutions for future power generation.
Future energy systems must factor in the changes and developments
in technology like improvements of natural gas combined cycles and
clean coal technologies, carbon dioxide capture and storage,
advancements in nuclear reactors and hydropower, renewable energy
engineering, power-to-gas conversion and fuel cells, energy crops,
new energy vectors biomass-hydrogen, thermal energy storage, new
storage systems diffusion, modern substations, high voltage
engineering equipment and compatibility, HVDC transmission with
FACTS, advanced optimization in a liberalized market environment,
active grids and smart grids, power system resilience, power
quality and cost of supply, plug-in electric vehicles, smart
metering, control and communication technologies, new key actors as
prosumers, smart cities. The emerging research will enhance the
security of energy systems, safety in operation, protection of
environment, improve energy efficiency, reliability and
sustainability. The book reviews current literature in the
advances, innovative options and solutions in power engineering. It
has been written for researchers, engineers, technicians and
graduate and doctorate students interested in power engineering.
