GRID INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The increased awareness for environmental preservation and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has caused a higher utilization of distributed renewable energy sources. As a result, the electrical grid is changing from utilizing large, remote fossil-fuel based generators to smaller, locally-embedded renewable energy generators. Deregulation has caused increased competition within the industry and a desire for improved efficiency. Furthermore, with the convergence of different technologies such as power systems, power electronics, information technology, communication and sensors, the grid can now be transformed into a truly smart grid capable of operating in a highly coordinated manner through intelligent management systems to realize its full potential.
