Advanced Frequency Regulation Strategies in Renewable-dominated Power Systems

Advanced Frequency Regulation Strategies in Renewable-Dominated Modern Power Systems discusses advanced control strategies positioned to attain stable and reliable electric power operation in highly renewable modern grids. These strategies are increasingly valuable components of the practitioner technical toolbox, and are essential to maintain frequency and voltage regulations, assert power quality standards, and ensure overall grid stability. This book focuses on the rapid integration of renewable-based generating units in power systems, highlighting state-of-the-art technologies and emerging topics pertaining to load frequency control, robust control strategies, and energy storage systems. Chapters are accompanied by case studies drawn from modern international practice.

• Disseminates novel control strategies for the reliable and robust control of renewable generating units
• Discusses implementation using case studies that address multiple frequency control applications across integrated modern power systems
• Accompanied by simulation models in MATLAB that are built to emphasize practical usage and address real-world problems
