Energy Management System for Dispatchable Renewable Power Generation
Description
This book presents development of energy management system for renewable power generation (EMSRPG) tool that aims to achieve power-dispatching strategies based on forecasting renewable energy resources outputs to guarantee optimal dispatch of hybrid wind-solar photovoltaic power systems (HWSPS). The key selling points of the book include the following:
Renewable energy management in modern and future smart power systems
Energy management systems
Modeling and simulations using a real-time digital simulator (RTDS)
High penetration level of renewable energy sources
Case studies based on Oman's power systems and other power grids
This book discusses the challenges of integrating renewable resources, including low inertia systems, hosting capacity limitations of existing power systems, and weak grids. It further examines the detailed topologies, operation principles, recent developments in control techniques, and stability of power systems with a large scale of renewables. Finally, it presents case studies of recent projects from around the world where dispatchable power plant techniques are used to enhance power system operation.
