I am currently undertaking a HND in Electrical Engineering and for my graded unit project I have chosen 'Power quality in renewable energy systems'.

I was hoping someone could recommend a good book to help.

Thanks

Welcome to the PF.

There should be some good resources online for this. What have you found so far?

What kind of power quality issues do you expect with the different renewable energy systems? Can you list the renewable energy sources and systems that you have in mind? What could be some power quality issues associated with each one?
