This book offers a comprehensive review of renewable energy sources and optimization strategies in hybrid power systems (HPSs). It analyses the main issues and challenges in the renewable (REW) HPS field, particularly those using fuel cell (FC) systems as their main source of energy. It then offers innovative solutions to these issues, comparing them to solutions currently found in the literature. The book discusses optimization algorithms and energy management strategies. The focus is chiefly on FC net power maximization and fuel economy strategies based on global optimization. The last two chapters discuss energy harvesting from photovoltaic systems and how to mitigate energy variability in REW FC HPS. The main content is supplemented by numerous examples and simulations. Academics, students and practitioners in relevant industrial branches interested in REW HPS finds it of considerable interest, as a reference book or for building their own HPSs based on the examples provided.

‘Analysis, Control and Optimal Operations in Hybrid Power Systems’ explains and analyzes the dynamic performance of linear and nonlinear systems for Power Systems (PS) and Hybrid Power Sources (HPS). System stability is important for both PS operation and planning, and therefore this book places emphasis on understanding the principles that underlie HPS stability. It opens with an exploration of basic concepts using mathematical models and case studies from linear and nonlinear systems, and continues with complex models and algorithms from the PS field. Useful features include: (1) a progressive approach from simplicity to complexity; (2) a deeper look into the advanced aspects of stability theory; (3) a detailed description of system stability using the state space energy conservation principle; (4) a review of research in the field of PS stability analysis; (5) advanced models and algorithms for Transmission Network Expansion Planning (TNEP);  (6) stability enhancement including the use of the Power System Stabilizer (PSS) and Flexible Alternative Current Transmission Systems (FACTS); and (7) an examination of the influence of nonlinear control on fuel cell HPS dynamics. This book offers an accessible approach and is an essential resource for both undergraduate and graduate students of electrical engineering. It also provides a comprehensive reference text for practising engineers as well as researchers working in the field of power system technologies.

This book presents intuitive explanations of the principles and applications of power system resiliency, as well as a number of straightforward and practical methods for the impact analysis of risk events on power system operations. It also describes the challenges of modelling, distribution networks, optimal scheduling, multi-stage planning, deliberate attacks, cyber-physical systems and SCADA-based smart grids, and how to overcome these challenges. Further, it highlights the resiliency issues using various methods, including strengthening the system against high impact events with low frequency and the fast recovery of the system properties. A large number of specialists have collaborated to provide innovative solutions and research in power systems resiliency. They discuss the fundamentals and contemporary materials of power systems resiliency, theoretical and practical issues, as well as current issues and methods for controlling the risk attacks and other threats to AC power systems. The book includes theoretical research, significant results, case studies, and practical implementation processes to offer insights into electric power and engineering and energy systems. Showing how systems should respond in case of malicious attacks, and helping readers to decide on the best approaches, this book is essential reading for electrical engineers, researchers and specialists. The book is also useful as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students studying the resiliency and reliability of power systems.
