Reinventing the Power Grid

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This is a critical resource that navigates the challenges and opportunities lying ahead of us as we transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy future.

Mark Z. Jacobson,

Professor, Stanford University, USA

Provides a good introduction to the wide range of technologies that are transforming the power system. Offers a comprehensive overview of the disruptive technologies that are driving the energy transition.

Dr. Ertugrul has achieved an exceptional result in this textbook. The book covers some of the most essential verities associated with the current modernization of electric power grids around the world. It will surely serve as an essential text for both students and practicing engineers in the power and energy sector. The book provides excellent coverage of both the physical concepts associated with energy conversion for modern inverter based resources (IBRs) and the opportunities and challenge ahead in the continued global push for greater deployment of IBR technologies.

As renewable energy, especially solar and wind energy, becomes cheaper and more widely deployed, it has become urgent to shift in the basic paradigm that has governed electricity planning for close to a century to integrate these variable sources of electricity. This detailed examination of the technical elements of an evolving power grid will help with transitioning to a new paradigm.

This great book focusses the inner core of the ongoing energy transition with the power grid and its most essential components, the supply of solar and wind electricity, the role of batteries and how power electronics enable the system combined with the practical investigation of microgrids.

Christian Breyer,

Professor for Solar Economy, LUT University, Finland

Dr. Ertugrul's book is required reading for anyone interested in the decarbonisation of the power industry. At last, there is a readable, comprehensive engineering explanation on how the power system works today and how it will need to work when fossil plants are retired and the grid is more distributed through the introduction of electrification and distributed energy.
