1st Edition
Smart Microgrid Systems Advanced Technologies
This book highlights microgrids as integrating platforms for distributed generation units, energy storages and local loads, with an emphasis on system performance via innovative approaches. It explains the smart power system concept, transmission, distribution, and utilization, and then looks at distributed generation technologies and hybrid power systems. Smart approaches, an analysis of microgrid design architecture and its implementation, the mitigation of cyber threats, and system optimization are also included. Case studies related to microgrid modeling and simulation are placed at the end of each chapter.
