Integration of renewable sources of energy, second edition
The world is undergoing a dramatic evolution in its energy system structure as more and more power is now coming from renewable and sustainable energy sources, and this development is expected to be even more progressive in the next decade—it is driven by a goal of not only reducing carbon emission but also obtaining more security of supplu for every nation and continent. Despite the fluctuating prices for carbon-based energy—although currently the prices are rather low—a lot of national programs are implemented in order to use more renewables. Furthermore, final energy prices for some of the renewables are more competitive than those of conventional fueled systems and such technologies will accelerate The implementation even more. Especially energy cost of the wind power technology and photovoltaic is very low, and it is a matter of scale to push that further down. In 2016 it was expected that more than 100 GW installation would be done for these technologies and that was more than half of the total installed new electrical power capacity generation for this year. Most of the renewable energy sources need power to operate properly, and we have also seen continous improvement in this technology, which has become smaller, cheaper, more efficient, more reliable, and smarter, so energy sources facilities a smooth and intellegent connection to the electrical grid.rnThe second edition of this book is very timely and covers many important aspects of intergrating renewable energy sources. It starts with and overview of all renewable sources the exist today, and then basic about thermodynamics are coveredto get a full understanding of energy. A wide range of different relevant technologies are covered, including hydropower, solar power, wind power, fuel cell-based power, photovoltaics, geothermal power, microturbines, and ocean power systems as well as biomass-based systems. Different energy storage systems are laso covered, as well as conventional power generators like induction and synchronous generators (also with permanent magnets) in some of the presented systems, energy sources that have to be integrated, and methods of proper interconnection of the electrical power-based generator systems. The book ends with examples of a micro-power system.rnThe book gives a solid introduction to the many aspects of present and future energy technology for the society and an inspiration for future research. It also demonstratives that the energy system requires not a single solution but a number of them with different energy carriers in order for the society to fully rely on renewable energy sources.
