Rising shares of renewable energy are needed to stave off catastrophic climate change, but also bring about the challenge of intermittency, jeopardizing power quality. Instead of large central generation units, many distributed generators and loads need to be managed in order to integrate renewable energy with power systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) can meet this challenge with adaptive control and demand side management. When managing distributed and changing network components, AI can give control computers human-level performance, helping to solve key issues with intermittency, power quality and distributed generation and loads including EV. Use of AI for power systems has therefore become a research hotspot. This reference book systematically treats the applications of AI in power electronics and renewable energy systems. The book begins with an introduction to AI in power systems, then subsequent chapters cover the use of AI for electric machine fault diagnosis, for power electronic reliability, design, and control, in dual-active-bridge converters; AI for distribution network voltage control, signal stability control, and energy management of hybrid systems as well as for renewable energy systems with AI. The book ends with conclusions and an outlook for AI in power systems. Numerous worked examples throughout the text help readers understand the operating and controlling guidelines. Written by a team of well-known scientists and power system experts, AI for Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Systems is a valuable resource for researchers and PhD students, as well as experts in industry and utilities involved with electric power systems.

This book focuses on renewable generation technology and provides a detailed overview of the state-of-the-art technology today, while exploring possibilities for the future. Written by leading experts in the field of power electronics, this book covers a broad range of renewable energy topics such as fuel cells, wave energy, batteries, and their

Due to the increasing world population, energy consumption is steadily climbing, and there is a demand to provide solutions for sustainable and renewable energy production, such as wind turbines and photovoltaics. Power electronics are being used to interface renewable sources in order to maximize the energy yield, as well as smoothly integrate them within the grid. In many cases, power electronics are able to ensure a large amount of energy saving in pumps, compressors, and ventilation systems. This book explains the operations behind different renewable generation technologies in order to better prepare the reader for practical applications. Multiple chapters are included on the state-of-the-art and possible technology developments within the next 15 years. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current renewable energy technology in terms of system configuration, power circuit usage, and control. It contains two design examples for small wind turbine system and PV power system, respectively, which are useful for real-life installation, as well as many computer simulation models.
