Book Statistics
Embedded Generation
Description
The use of combined heat and power plants and renewable energy sources reduces the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere and helps to alleviate the consequent climate change. The policies of many governments suggests that the proportion of electrical energy produced by these sources will increase dramatically over the next two decades. Unlike traditional generating units these new types of power plants are usually embedded in the distribution system or dispersed around the network. As a result conventional design and operating practices are no longer applicable for example power protection principles have to be revised and complex economic questions need to be resolved.
This book intended for both students and practising engineers addresses all the issues pertinent to the implementation of embedded generation. The authors also discuss the technical and commercial consequences of the very high penetration of embedded generation that are to be expected in the years ahead.
