Advanced Grid Technologies, Volume 1

Advanced Grid Technologies: Grid Evolution, Smart Grid Fundamentals, and Renewable Energy Integration, Volume One provides a coherent, practical introduction to the innovative, modern techniques required to integrate renewable energy into power grids. The book focuses on the basic history of the grid, fundamental aspects of grid management, and the challenges set by renewable integration. It begins by outlining the history of the modern energy grid before providing a comprehensive overview of renewable energy sources, the challenges their use present for typical energy grids, and the fundamentals of modern smart adaptations.

Specific major challenges are broken down into fundamentals, including electric vehicles and vehicle-to-grid, energy storage, intelligent electronic device-based substations, and demand forecasting for energy stability. Including a variety of numerical examples and working from early principles for each topic, this book provides late-stage undergraduate and graduate students in energy systems and power engineering, as well as engineers working to modernize the power grid, with a fundamental resource for renewable energy integration.

Cyber-physical Infrastruc-tures in Power Systems: Architectures and Vulnerabilities

In an uncertain and complex environment, to ensure secure and stable operations of large-scale power systems is one of the biggest challenges that power engineers have to address today. Traditionally, power system operations and decision-making in controls are based on power system computations of physical models describing the behavior of power systems. Largely, physical models are constructed according to some assumptions and simplifications, and such is the case with power system models. However, the complexity of power system stability problems, along with the system's inherent uncertainties and nonlinearities, can result in models that are impractical or inaccurate. This calls for adaptive or deep-learning algorithms to significantly improve current control schemes that solve decision and control problems. Cyberphysical Infrastructures in Power Systems:

Architectures and Vulnerabilities provides an extensive overview of CPS concepts and infrastructures in power systems with a focus on the current state-of-the-art research in this field. Detailed classifications are pursued highlighting existing solutions, problems, and developments in this area.-Gathers the theoretical preliminaries and fundamental issues related to CPS architectures.-Provides coherent results in adopting control and communication methodologies to critically examine problems in various units within smart power systems and microgrid systems.-Presents advanced analysis under cyberphysical attacks and develops resilient control strategies to guarantee safe operation at various power levels.

Sequential Integration Approach to Fault Diagnosis with Applications: Model-Free and Model-Based Approaches: Theory and Design

As the complexity of engineering systems is constantly increasing, their design calls for the sustainability and reliability of their high performance. Fault diagnosis (FD) is a vital system tool that addresses this critically-important issue. This book presents a clear and easy introduction to the sequential integration of the two major approaches to FD with application, namely model-free and model-based and draws on the power of the two approaches vitally for the detection of incipient faults which are hard to uncover by a single approach alone. In the model-free approach, this book explores from the intuitive approach of plausibility checks to the more sophisticated learning approaches (ANN, FL, Genetic algorithms, etc.) and their hybrid versions. In the model-based approach, the book presents relies on the powerful and ubiquitous Kalman filter and presents new material on: ? A new model-order selection criterion that is appealing to practicing engineers. ? A new and fresh look at the design of Kalman filters based on the simple and powerful internal model principle. As such, this book will be appealing to both researchers and practitioners alike.
