This book brings together several aspects of hosting capacity (HC) assessment and enhancement of modern electrical power systems, HC is a key enabler for affordable, reliable and renewable energy sources, that will aid in transitioning away from traditional high-carbon energy sources. The chapters provide insight into the state of the art on current hosting capacity concepts, restrictive performance limits, distribution network operators and network planners’ viewpoints, and the cutting-edge technologies deployed worldwide for hosting capacity enhancement.
Written by leading experts in power, control, and renewable energy resources. This book is beneficial to distribution system operators, network planners, distribution generation investors, and researchers in this field. Due to its broad scope, it is an ideal resource for students in advanced graduate-level courses and special topics in the field of hosting capacity assessment and enhancement in modern electricalpower systems.
