Abstract
Presents power quality solutions for renewable energy systems. The energy efficiency of a building is explained based on a photovoltaic system and a ground-water heat pump resulting in a passive house. European implementation of renewable energy sources relying on photovoltaic, wind, and thermal solar power systems is detailed. The replacement of mechanical gears--in wind turbines and electric cars--by electronic gears is advocated. The complementary control of renewable plants with energy storage systems is explored through block diagrams. This chapter lists advantages and disadvantages of AC versus DC transmission lines, problems associated with fast-charging stations for electric cars, off-shore wind power plants, net-metering and feed-in tariff, and production efficiency of automotive fuel from wind and water. 11 application examples with solutions and 23 application-oriented problems are included.
