Harmonics, Power Systems, and Smart Grids, Second Edition compiles the most relevant aspects of harmonics in a way that the unfamiliar reader can better grasp the subject matter and the experienced reader can directly access specific subjects of interest. The text begins with a definition of harmonics, along with analytical expressions for electrical parameters under nonsinusoidal situations, and then:

• Discusses important and widely used industry standards to control harmonic distortion levels
• Describes methods to mitigate the effects of harmonics, detailing...

A static compensator (STATCOM), also known as static synchronous compensator, is a member of the flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices. It is a power-electronics based regulating device which is composed of a voltage source converter (VSC) and is shunt-connected to alternating current electricity transmission and distribution networks. The voltage source is created from a DC capacitor and the STATCOM can exchange reactive power with the network. It can also supply some active power to the network, if a DC source of power is connected across the capacitor. A...

The twin challenge of meeting global energy demands in the face of growing economies and populations and restricting greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most daunting ones that humanity has ever faced. Smart electrical generation and distribution infrastructure will play a crucial role in meeting these challenges. We would need to develop capabilities to handle large volumes of data generated by the power system components like PMUs, DFRs and other data acquisition devices as well as by the capacity to process these data at high resolution via multi-scale and multi-period simulations,...

Decision makers in large scale interconnected network systems require simulation models for decision support. The behaviour of these systems is determined by many actors, situated in a dynamic, multi-actor, multi-objective and multi-level environment. How can such systems be modelled and how can the socio-technical complexity be captured? Agent-based modelling is a proven approach to handle this challenge. This book provides a practical introduction to agent-based modelling of socio-technical systems, based on a methodology that has been developed at TU Delft and which has been deployed in...

The book is intended for readers with an
existing base of knowledge regarding the wireless power amplifier (PA), a key
semiconductor component used in all wireless communication products. The PA
influences battery-life, talk-time, cost, and size of wireless communication
devices.

The author presents a complete
pedagogical design methodology for wireless PA design, from specification
stage, to transistor selection, to final circuit design. An electrical
engineer, having read the book, will be able to start with key specifications
and end with a...

The first successful finished Smart Grid Prototype Projects deliver new requirements and best practices to meet them. These solutions will be the base for the upcoming norms and standards in the near future.

This domain is not only part of one Standard developing Organization (SDO), but also of many different organizations like ITU, ISO, IEC and additionally for the electro mobility part the SAE. This results in many standards which are based on different aspects. Furthermore the European mirror organizations (ETSI, CEN, CENELEC) as well as the German mirror groups of these...

As industrial, commercial, and residential demands increase and with the rise of privatization and deregulation of the electric energy industry around the world, it is necessary to improve the performance of electric operational management. Intelligent Energy Demand Forecasting offers approaches and methods to calculate optimal electric energy allocation to reach equilibrium of the supply and demand.

Evolutionary algorithms and intelligent analytical tools to improve energy demand forecasting accuracy are explored and explained in relation to existing methods. To...

The world is witnessing a rapid growth in wind and other renewable based electricity generation due to environmental concerns associated with electricity generation from the conventional sources. Wind power behaves quite differently than conventional electric power generating units due to its intermittent and diffuse nature. System planners and operators face the variability and uncertainty of wind power availability, and therefore, encounter considerable challenges in making decisions to maintain the adequacy and security of wind integrated power systems. This volume intends to bring out...

Ruben Steinhoff hat ein thermodynamisches Auslegungsverfahren fur einen Versuchsstand entwickelt, welches die Grundlage fur dessen konstruktive Ausfuhrung war. Insbesondere die zeitgleiche Untersuchung von Warmeubergangskoeffizienten wahrend der Kondensation und Verdampfung von Kaltemitteln auf der Auenseite von glatten und strukturierten Rohren zeichnen diesen Versuchsstand aus und erlauben, Messreihen zeiteffizient zu gestalten. Erste Messergebnisse nach Abschluss dieser Arbeit zeigen gute Ubereinstimmung mit den gangigen Angaben aus der Literatur.
