In this comprehensive guide for practicing engineers and students, Ertugrul explains the field of renewable energy and distributed generation technologies and describes the transformation occurring in the power grids due to the rise of renewable energy sources and emerging technologies.
The book covers key areas such as the status of grid transformation, photovoltaic solar energy, wind energy systems, distributed energy resources, microgrids, grid-scale and domestic battery storage systems, e-mobility and emerging distributed energy technologies. The book presents an equilibrium between theoretical concepts and practical applications, with each chapter emphasizing both theory and practical application. Each chapter commences with a lucid explanation of the subject matter, which is then succeeded by an investigation into its real-world applications and implications. Supplementary material is also provided, such as real wind data files, PV data files, and MATLAB and Excel codes.
