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.

How can a microgrid be a stable power system?

To obtain stable and optimal operation in DC power systems (microgrids), proper load sharing among different energy units and acceptable voltage regulation across the microgrid is required. This can be achieved by use of a hierarchical power management structure.

How can communication be implemented in microgrid control?

A standard way to realize communication in microgrid control is to use an external communication network, such as modems for wireless or power-line communication, whose implementation may be inefficient in terms of deployment cost, complexity, and system stability.

What structures are used in microgrids?

Some of the most used structures in microgrids, including two-level and three-level neutral point-clamped converters, are investigated in more depth. Furthermore, the modeling of these converters is presented.
