This book helps the researchers and industrialists working on optimal DG placement & control in power system. Different optimal allocating algorithms have been highlighted and compared their performances in this book. The summary of the book is as follows.This book mainly discusses way of properly selecting the location and size of multiple distributed generations. The approach which is used here is Kalman filter algorithm. Increase in power consumption can cause serious stability problems in electric power systems if there are no ongoing or impending construction projects of new power plants or transmission lines. Additionally, such increase can result in large power losses of the system. In costly and environmentally effective manner to avoid constructing the new infrastructures such as power plants, transmission lines.

Transient stability augmentations is an important requirement of any interconnected power system. It is well known that suitable placement of FACTS controllers in a power system can improve the stability performance of the system. To validate the effectiveness of different FACTS controllers it is essential to interface FACTS devices to an existing transient stability programme with minimal implementational and computational effort. In this book, FACTS controllers are modeled in a multi-machine transient programme by employing a generalized current-injection model. This approach provides a common procedure to model all types of series and shunt FACTS controllers. SVC, STATCOM, SSSC and UPFC have been modeled with typical control strategies.

This book helps the researchers and industrialists working on power quality improvement in renewable source integrated grid topologies. Different optimal renewable integrated topologies and effective utilization of renewable sources have been highlighted in this book. Modernization in every field of industrialization and increasing living standards of the world population demands more power from the utility. Non-linear loads and renewable source integration hinders the quality of power supply. Begining chapters completely dedicated to renewable sources and power quality challeges. Later chapters highlights three main topologies. Such as shunt control topology, Series control topology and Unified Control topology. Different control strategies performance in all the three topologies discussed for mitigating voltage and current abnormalities. By going through this book one can easily understand power quality issues, challenges, mitigating methodologies. The data presented completely supports renewable integration along with power quality improvement.
