Book Description

The demand for alternative energy sources fuels the need for electric power and controls engineers to possess a practical understanding of transformers suitable for solar energy. Meeting that need, Distributed Photovoltaic Grid Transformers begins by explaining the basic theory behind transformers in the solar power arena, and then progresses to describe the development, manufacture, and sale of distributed photovoltaic (PV) grid transformers, which help boost the electric DC voltage (generally at 30 volts) harnessed by a PV panel to a higher level (generally at 115 volts or higher) once it is inverted to the AC voltage form by the inverter circuit. Packed with real-life scenarios and case studies from around the globe, Distributed Photovoltaic Grid Transformers covers the key design, operation, and maintenance aspects of transformers suitable for solar energy. Topics include islanding, voltage flicker, voltage operating range, frequency and power factor variation, and waveform distortion. Multiple homework questions are featured in each chapter. A solutions manual and downloadable content, such as illustrated examples, are available with qualifying course adoption.

Book Description

Grid-connected photovoltaic systems utilize static converters which influence the efficiency of the system. The energy conversion depends on the architecture of the converter, different solutions are available and H-bridge multilevel converters seem to be an optimal solution also for the power quality. The present renewable energy development and use will trigger a fourth industrial revolution; of all the renewable energy use methods, photovoltaic power generation is a critical part of overall renewable energy development. According to the world energy organization predictions, as the traditional energy sources (such as coal, oil, and so forth) gradually dry up, renewable energy power generation will become a major energy method.Distributed Photovoltaic Grid Transformers covers innovative research and techniques in the key design, operation, and maintenance aspects of transformers suitable for solar energy. Real life scenarios and case studies from around the world are included. Architecture is proposed that includes a Power Electronic Transformer which is practically an isolated high-frequency link AC/AC converter that substitutes a conventional transformer.

Book Description

A surge in harmonics and distortion in the South Africa's electric power system has come to the fore in the early phases of integrating renewable energy resources to the national electric grid. Having said that, in this day and age a considerable number of harmonic producing apparatus are present. On the basis of their beneficial effects in efficacy and controllability, harmonic producing apparatus are presumed looking ahead to the realization of the 2030 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2030) to increase further. The mushroomed harmonics and distortion may drive inflated winding stray losses and many other transformer aspects covered in this book including maximum loading capacity, De-rating, peculiar temperature rise, stray gassing and Total Ownership Cost.

Book Description

This book focuses on a safety issue in terms of leakage current, builds a common-mode voltage analysis model for TLIs at switching frequency scale and develops a new modulation theory referred as “Constant Common-Mode Voltage Modulation” to eliminate the leakage current of TLIs. Transformerless Grid-Connected Inverter (TLI) is a circuit interface between photovoltaic arrays and the utility, which features high conversion efficiency, low cost, low volume and weight. The detailed theoretical analysis with design examples and experimental validations are presented from full-bridge type, half-bridge type and combined topologies. This book is essential and valuable reference for graduate students and academics majored in power electronics; engineers engaged in developing distributed grid-connected inverters; senior undergraduate students majored in electrical engineering and automation engineering.

Book Description

Electrical power is harnessed using several energy sources, including coal, hydel, nuclear, solar, and wind. Generated power is needed to be transferred over long distances to support load requirements of customers, viz., residential, industrial, and commercial. This necessitates proper design and analysis of power systems to efficiently control the power flow from one point to the other without delay, disturbance, or interference. Ideal for utility and power system design professionals and students, this book is richly illustrated with MATLAB® and Electrical Transient Analysis Program (ETAP®) to succinctly illustrate concepts throughout, and includes examples, case studies, and problems. Features Illustrated throughout with MATLAB and ETAP Proper use of positive/negative/zero sequence analysis of a given one-line diagram (OLD) associated with a grid, as well as finger-holding instructions to tackle a power system analysis (PSA) problem for a given OLD of a grid On-line evaluation of power flow, short-circuit analysis, and related PSA for a given OLD Appropriately learn the finer nuances of designing the several components of a PSA, including transmission lines, transformers, generators/motors, and illustrate the corresponding equivalent circuit Case studies from utilities and independent system operators
