The author also presents models for the connection of these renewable energy sources from large-scale to on-site and community power/microgrids. The models are explained through case studies in the developed and developing worlds that explore how technical evaluations are conducted, policy incentives implemented, and project finance applied.Considering the increasing importance of renewable energy for climate change mitigation, this book provides an overview of how renewable energy sources are integrated into the grid to promote better understanding among students and business professionals in the utility sector and across industries. Most literature on grid interconnection is highly technical, assuming an in-depth understanding of electrical engineering. With the rise of clean technologies and the diversity of interconnection models, this guide fills a gap in the existing literature by equipping non-technical business managers with the salient information they need to make critical decisions for their organizations. 410 0$aIndustry profiles collection. 606 $aRenewable energy sources$xTechnological innovations 606 $aElectric power systems$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aEnergy development$xPlanning 615 0$aRenewable energy sources$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aElectric power systems$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aEnergy development$xPlanning. 676 $a621.042 700 $aGinsberg$b Michael$c(Energy consultant),$01845290 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959387303321 996 $aHarness it$94429156 997 $aUNINA
