Page 28 - Modern Control of DC-Based Power Systems

Preface xxvii

The knowledge of Chapter 5, Control Approaches for Parallel Source
Converter Systems, is applied to the specific application of Generation
Side Control for Ship Power Systems in the following chapter. This is
one of the examples used in the book to map theory to concrete design
challenges.
Chapter 7, Hardware in the Loop Implementation and Challenges,
extends the analysis to a wide set of solutions able to tackle the power sys-
tem control at the system level: in a nutshell the challenge can be summa-
rized as Paralleled Source Converter Systems.
The following chapters present a large set of system simulation analy-
sis. The different control approaches are compared and the features of the
possible approaches are discussed.
The last chapter completes the simulation analysis with a review of the
Hardware in the Loop technique to validate control solution.
The authors hope the readers will find this overview to be a good
instrument to learn how to use control theory in power systems to con-
tinue to create a tighter interaction and greater exchange between these
two fascinating fields of electrical engineering.
