Grid Integration and Dynamic Impact of Solar and Wind Energy details the integration of solar and wind energy resources to the electric grid worldwide. The book includes detailed coverage of the power converters and control used in interfacing solar photovoltaics, electric machines and power converters used in wind generators, and extensive descriptions of power systems operation and control to accommodate large penetration of these resources. Key concepts will be illustrated through extensive power electronics and power systems simulations using software like MATLAB and Simulink. The book addresses real world problems and solutions in the area of grid integration of solar and wind, and will be a valuable resource for engineers and researchers working in renewable energy and power.
