This textbook Grid Converters for Photovoltaic and Wind Power Systems by Remus Teodorescu addresses the technical aspects of converters for renewable energy. It focuses on the integration of electricity from solar and wind energy into the power grid through advanced grid converters.
Contents
Grid converters play a crucial role in connecting renewable energy sources to the grid. Due to stricter grid requirements, these converters must include functions such as dynamic control of active and reactive power, operational flexibility under varying voltage and frequency conditions, power-quality maintenance, and support for grid services.
The book covers converter topologies, modulation, and control rules for both photovoltaic and wind energy systems. Special attention is given to grid requirements and the performance of converters under unfavorable grid conditions.
Main topics
- Modern inverter designs for solar and wind energy
- Detection of islanding operation in photovoltaic installations
- Synchronization using second order generalized integrators (SOGI)
- Advanced synchronization techniques under grid imbalance and filter design with active damping
- Power control during grid disturbances, including positive and negative sequences
The book is intended for graduate students in electrical engineering and professionals who specialize in the emerging field of renewable energy. It provides an in-depth technical foundation for understanding and applying grid converters in the growing market for solar and wind energy.
