    • English
    Next-Generation Cyber-Physical Microgrid Systems: A Practical Guide to Communication Technologies and Resilience presents the opportunities and challenges of using communication network technology to integrate distributed generation systems into microgrids. Working their way through case studies and theoretical strategies, the book's global range of authors analyze the particular needs of different system structures, including DC, AC-DC and hybrid microgrids, island-bound or grid-connected systems, and case studies in wind power and photovoltaic systems. Risks arising from the communication networks are addressed in detail, with strategies covered including modeling, cyber-physical security set-ups, applications of blockchain, demand-response analyses, and the impact and mitigation of cyber-attacks. Power-electronics interfaces for the integration of these technologies are also demonstrated and explained. With a wealth of real-world, practical advice for the implementation and protection of these communication strategies, this book will be a useful resource for researchers and industry professionals developing the sustainable energy systems of the future.
