Microgrids (1st edition)

The main aim of this book is to have a complete discussion and details about micro grid and its applications including modeling of AC/DC and hybrid grid in a tied mode with simulation for the solar systems, wind turbine, biomass and fuel cells and deployment issues. The data communications and control mechanism implementations are analyzed for proper coordination of the AC/DC micro grid. The various real time applications and future development of the micro grid is also discussed in this book with MATLAB^® based simulations and results. Aimed at researchers, senior undergraduate and graduate students in power engineering, electrical engineering especially in smart and microgrids, this book:

• Discusses the fundamentals of micro grids, micro grids' components, the modeling of renewable energy sources, and implementation.
• Explores AC and DC micro grid modelling with real time examples.
• Examines effective extraction of energy from renewable energy sources.
• Covers analysis of data communications and control mechanism implementations.
• Includes MATLAB based simulations and results on micro grid.
