This book examines the role of model validation of power system planning and operation to optimize its performance in terms of frequency control. It presents the detailed model validation for the Iranian Power Grid system, where the frequency performance was analysed and improved using existing and new standard models to identify the influencing parameters. Although the model validation was employed for a specific, practical large-scale system, the framework (concepts, methods, and formulations) can be used for by any type of power system. As such, this book describing a generalized framework for model validation with a real case study is useful for both power industry experts and academia.

This book brings together successful stories of deployment of synchrophasor technology in managing the power grid. The authors discuss experiences with large scale deployment of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in power systems across the world, enabling readers to take this technology into control center operations and develop good operational procedures to manage the grid better, with wide area visualization tools using PMU data.

A thorough and exhaustive presentation of theoretical analysis and practical techniques for the small-signal analysis and control of large modern electric power systems as well as an assessment of their stability and damping performance.

Simulation of Power System with Renewables provides details on the modelling and efficient implementation of MATLAB, particularly with a renewable energy driven power system. The book presents a step-by-step approach to modelling implementation, including all major components used in current power systems operation, giving the reader the opportunity to learn how to gather models for conventional generators, wind farms, solar plants and FACTS control devices. Users will find this to be a central resource for modelling, building and simulating renewable power systems, including discussions on its limitations, assumptions on the model, and the implementation and analysis of the system. - Presents worked examples and equations in each chapter that address system limitations and flexibility - Provides step-by-step guidance for building and simulating models with required data - Contains case studies on a number of devices, including FACTS, and renewable generation

Decentralized Frameworks for Future Power Systems: Operation, Planning and Control Perspectives is the first book to consider the principles and applications of decentralized decision-making in future power networks. The work opens by defining the emerging power system network as a system-of-systems (SoS), exploring the guiding principles behind optimal solutions for operation and planning problems. Chapters emphasize the role of regulations, prosumption behaviors, and the implementation of transactive energy processes as key components in decentralizing power systems. Contributors explore local markets, distribution system operation and proactive load management. The role of cryptocurrencies in smoothing transactive distributional challenges are presented. Final sections cover energy system planning, particularly in terms of consumer smart meter technologies and distributed optimization methods, including artificial intelligence, meta-heuristic, heuristic, mathematical and hybrid approaches. The work closes by considering decentralization across the cybersecurity, distributed control, market design and power quality optimization vertices. - Develops a novel framework for transactive energy management to enhance flexibility in future power systems - Explores interactions between multiple entities in local power markets based on a distributed optimization approach - Focuses on practical optimization, planning and control of smart grid systems towards decentralized decision-making

Microgrids Presents microgrid methodologies in modeling, stability, and control, supported by real-time simulations and experimental studies Microgrids: Dynamic Modeling, Stability and Control, provides comprehensive coverage of microgrid modeling, stability, and control, alongside new relevant perspectives and research outcomes, with vital information on several microgrid modeling methods, stability analysis methodologies and control synthesis approaches that are supported by real-time simulations and experimental studies for active learning in professionals and students alike. This book is divided into two parts: individual microgrids and interconnected microgrids. Both parts provide individual chapters on modeling, stability, and control, providing comprehensive information on the background, concepts, and architecture, supported by several examples and corresponding source codes/simulation files. Communication based control and cyber security of microgrids are addressed and new outcomes and advances in interconnected microgrids are discussed. Summarizing the outcome of more than 15 years of the authors’ teaching, research, and projects, Microgrids: Dynamic Modeling, Stability and Control covers specific sample topics such as: Microgrid dynamic modeling, covering microgrid components modeling, DC and AC microgrids modeling examples, reduced-order models, and model validation Microgrid stability analysis, covering stability analysis methods, islanded/grid connected/interconnected microgrid stability Microgrids control, covering hierarchical control structure, communication-based control, cyber-resilient control, advanced control theory applications, virtual inertia control and data-driven control Modeling, analysis of stability challenges, and emergency control of large-scale interconnected microgrids Synchronization stability of interconnected microgrids, covering control requirements of synchronous microgrids and inrush power analysis With comprehensive, complete, and accessible coverage of the subject, Microgrids: Dynamic Modeling, Stability and Control is the ideal reference for professionals (engineers, developers) and students working with power/smart grids, renewable energy, and power systems, to enable a more effective use of their microgrids or interconnected microgrids.
