Description

Distributed Energy Resources in Microgrids: Integration, Challenges and Optimization unifies classically unconnected aspects of microgrids by considering them alongside economic analysis and stability testing. In addition, the book presents well-founded mathematical analyses on how to technically and economically optimize microgrids via distributed energy resource integration. Researchers and engineers in the power and energy sector will find this information useful for combined scientific and economical approaches to microgrid integration.

Specific sections cover microgrid performance, including key technical elements, such as control design, stability analysis, power quality, reliability and resiliency in microgrid operation.

Key features

  • Addresses the challenges related to the integration of renewable energy resources
  • Includes examples of control algorithms adopted during integration
  • Presents detailed methods of optimization to enhance successful integration

Readership

Researchers, engineers in power, energy, electrical engineering and electrical instrumentation, power service engineers, and post grads in electrical, power and energy engineering
