Preface
Medium and large-scale renewable power plants require large areas of land, and are usually installed in offshore or remote areas, far from cities, in order to capture large amount of energy. For power transmission and grid integration, the low voltage, e.g., 690 V for a typical wind turbine generator, at which the electricity is generated from renewable energy sources is transformed to the medium-voltage (e.g., 11–33-kV) commonly by using the step-up tran
