The increasing penetration of renewable energy at the distribution level has made power electronic converters essential for modern electricity grids. The performance of these converters depends heavily on the interaction between energy sources, loads, and their operational states. To ensure safe, stable, and efficient operation under normal conditions, faults, overloads, and varying operational modes, advanced control strategies are critical.
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of enhanced control strategies for power electronic converters, fault and failure mode classification, and reliability analysis methods. Coverage includes PV modules, grid-connected PV systems, and thermal image–based monitoring, alongside life-cycle calculations and practical case studies. The technologies and methodologies presented are aimed at improving the stability and reliability of power systems.
Written by an international team of researchers from academia and industry, this book is a valuable resource for engineers, practitioners, and researchers focused on power electronics, renewable energy integration, and grid stability.
