✦ Synopsis

Key to the further growth of shares of renewables is their integration with the existing grid system including EV and sector coupling. This in turn requires technical developments to enable flexibility and dispatch. Approaches to meeting these challenges include hybridization of different distributed energy resources, forecasting and control, storage and demand response, and modelling. Technological advances are also being accompanied by changes in business models.

The first edition of this book for researchers in academia, power industry and at grid operators presented an overview of the steps on the way toward 100% clean power, covering systematically the different challenges and technologies. The 2nd edition has been substantially revised and updated.

The book begins with an overview of the role of the power grid in a sustainable energy system. Chapters cover recent developments and future challenges for integration of renewable energy, wind energy forecasting, wind and PV integration, energy resources integration and demand response, DC distribution, distributed micro-storage and hydrogen energy systems.

Providing an up-to-date and thorough overview of trends and developments on this essential renewable energy topic, the book is suitable for researchers in academia and industry as well as at utilities involved with renewables deployment and power grids.
