Books on microgrids

What is a microgrid control book?

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the control, operation, and protection of microgrids, and is a valuable resource for researchers and engineers working in control concepts, smart grid, AC, DC, and AC/DC microgrids.

Why should you read a microgrid book?

The book will be a valuable resource for researchers who are focused on control concepts, AC, DC, and AC/DC microgrids, as well as those working in the related areas of energy engineering, operations research and its applications to energy systems. Addresses various aspects from day-ahead scheduling to real-time testing of microgrids.

Who is the author of microgrids?

He is the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, a member of the Editorial Board of IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Development and the IEEE Power and Energy magazine, and author of the book Microgrids: Architectures and Control. He has co-authored more than 250 journal publications and 600 conference proceedings papers.

What types of studies are conducted on microgrids?

The studies on microgrids are classified into two main topics: feasibility and economic studies, and control and optimization. The applications and types of microgrids are introduced first, and next, the objective of microgrid control is explained. Microgrid control falls under the categories of coordinated control and local control.

What are some new approaches to planning a microgrid?

Some of these new approaches to planning process may include GIS based techniques , , , and new algorithms associated to optimization, forecast and other microgrid related aspects. Other energy community systems, such as virtual power plants or district heating have many points in common with microgrids.

Is there such a thing as a microgrid?

There are 18 large hotels and hospitals, and an increasing number of individual homes that have had on-site emergency generation for decades. However, these systems generally fall short of the definition of a microgrid due to the lack of communication and control technologies to interact in a bidirectional manner with the grid.
