Modern Control of DC-Based Power Systems

Modern Control of DC-Based Power Systems: A Problem-Based Approach addresses the future challenges of DC Grids in a problem-based context for practicing power engineers who are challenged with integrating DC grids in their existing architecture. This reference uses control theory to address the main concerns affecting these systems, things like generation capacity, limited maximum load demands and low installed inertia which are all set to increase as we move towards a full renewable model. Offering a new approach for a problem-based, practical approach, the book provides a coordinated view of the topic with MATLAB®, Simulink® files and additional ancillary material provided. - Includes Simulink® Files (of examples and for lab training classes) and MATLAB® files - Presents video slides to support the problem-based approach to understanding DC Power System control and application - Provides stability analysis of DC networks and examples of common stability problems

Marco Cupelli is the Division Head of Power Systems Control and Automation at E.ON Energy Research Center (EON ERC), RWTH Aachen University. He is passionate in leading and conduction research activities in the areas of power system control and automation, developing innovative control strategies for medium and low voltage distribution networks and integrating smart metering devices to enable cloud automation solutions. He is managing and mentoring a cross-functional team of more than 20 researchers. He is an IEEE Senior Member where he is involved in two P2030 working. Furthermore, he is an active member of the European Union H2020 Bridge Initiative. He received his Doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering from RWTH Aachen University and his Diploma degree in electrical engineering and business administration from Technische Universität Darmstadt.
