Microgrid Handbook

This book focusses on planning to practice aspects of microgrids. It covers basics, power electronics converters topologies, storage systems technologies, and control aspects. It further discusses control algorithms for sizing, scheduling, operation and control, energy management and control architecture followed by power quality, reliability, stability, and conditioning issues. Operation and control, communication architectures and protocols, cybersecurity, and infrastructure requirements for IoT integration are included as well. Features: Provides comprehensive discussion on microgrid planning including detailed socio-policy aspects. Includes rich aspects of microgrid in planning, operation, and control. Covers concepts like E-mobility and communication protocols, cyber security aspects and smart metering. Discusses power converters and storage system for microgrid applications. Explores real-time design standards, energy management models, forecasting models, stability, and power quality aspects of microgrids. This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in power engineering/electronics, renewable energy integration, and distributed generation.
