Demand for on-site and alternative power generation is growing, fuelled by government and public pressure to increase generation from renewable sources and energy efficient plant, and by the potential economic benefits resulting from privatisation and deregulation of the supply sector. This book is a practical, course-derived guide that covers all aspects of embedded (or dispersed) generation, from prime mover characteristics to network reliability modelling. Topics include power quality, protection, reliability and economics. It is essential reading for practising engineers planning, designing or specifying embedded generation solutions.
