Preface
Worldwide, the effects of environmental, economic, social, political, and technical factors have led to the rapid deployment of various sources of renewable energy-based power generation. The incorporation of these generation technologies has led to the development of a broad array of new methods and tools to integrate this new form of generation into the power system networks. This book, arranged into six parts, gives a comprehensive discussion on various renewable energy-based distributed generation (DG) technologies as follows: Part I provides a detailed overview of the distributed generation (DG) technologies, where the classification of DG units based on renewable and non-renewable energy technologies is discussed. In this part, Chap. 1 discusses the fundamentals of distributed renewable energy technologies with emphasizes on their modeling approaches. More specifically, wind turbines, solar PV system, and biomass technologies are briefly presented. The discussion of non-renewable energy technologies is provided in Chap. 2 w
