Energy and electricity -- Features of conventional and renewable generation -- Power balance/frequency control -- Electrical power generation and conditioning -- Power system analysis -- Renewable energy generation in power systems -- Power system economics and the electricity market -- The future - towards a sustainable electricity supply system -- Appendix: Basic electric power engineering concepts.
"Renewable Energy (RE) sources differ from conventional sources in that, generally they cannot be scheduled, they are much smaller than conventional power stations and are often connected to the electricity distribution system rather than the transmission system. The integration of such time variable 'distributed' or 'embedded' sources into electricity networks requires special consideration." "This text is designed to be intelligible to readers who have little previous knowledge of electrical engineering. The more analytical electrical aspects are relegated to an Appendix for readers who wish to gain a more in depth understanding. The book's flexible structure makes its accessible to the general engineer or scientists but also caters for readers with a non-scientific background. Economists, planners and environmental specialists will find parts of the book informative."--BOOK JACKET.
