Electricity Distribution

This book introduces readers to novel, efficient and user-friendly software tools for power systems studies, to issues related to distributed and dispersed power generation, and to the correlation between renewable power generation and electricity demand. Discussing new methodologies for addressing grid stability and control problems, it also examines issues concerning the safety and protection of transmission and distribution networks, energy storage and power quality, and the application of embedded systems to these networks. Lastly, the book sheds light on the implications of these new methodologies and developments for the economics of the power industry. As such, it offers readers a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art research on modern electricity transmission and distribution networks.

comprehensive overview of the latest developments in electricity distribution feasible updated solutions for the challenges deriving from renewable energy Provides the latest research on electricity transmission and distribution-network issues Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
