Power Electronics in Smart Electrical Energy Networks introduces a new viewpoint on power electronics, re-thinking the basic philosophy governing electricity distribution systems. The proposed concept fully exploits the potential advantages of renewable energy sources and distributed generation (DG), which should not only be connected but also fully integrated into the distribution system in order to increase the efficiency, flexibility, safety, reliability and quality of the electricity and the networks. The transformation of current electricity grids into smart (resilient and interactive) networks necessitates thedevelopment, propagation and demonstration of key enabling cost-competitive technologies (e.g., innovative interconnection solutions and storage technologies for renewable energy sources, etc.). Presents the features, solutions and applications of the power electronics arrangements useful for future smart electrical energy networks INDICE: Introduction.- Principles of Electrical Power Control.- Overview of Power Electronics Converters and Controls.- Quality Problems in Smart Networks.- EMC Cases in Distributed Electrical Power System.- High Frequency AC Power Distribution Platforms.- Integration of Distributed Generation with Electrical Power System.- Active Power Quality Controllers.- Energy Storage Systems.- Variable and Adjustable Speed Generation Systems.- Grid Integration of Wind Energy Systems.- Grid Integration of Photovoltaics and Fuel Cells.
