A Review of New Energy Power Generation Part in 2008 IEEE PES General Meeting

IEEE Power Energy Society 2008 general meeting provided an international forum for all attendees to promote, share and discuss a myriad of ongoing developments that relate to today’s power and energy industry. The theme of the meeting is "Conversion and Delivery of Electrical Energy in 21st Century". Comparing with conventional power generations, such as thermal power and hydropower, new energy power generations, such as nuclear power, wind power and distributed generation, attract more international interests. In this paper, present status, problems and methods in new energy power generation and smart grid fields will be introduced, which will be helpful for the research work of domestic scholars and engineers.
