Microgrid Dynamics and Control

Advances in MG control have improved the MGs potential to be integrated into the electrical power grids in a higher capacity. This improvement not only covers their internal control performance, but also includes the support functionalities to enhance the global operation of power grids. In addition, the text draws the authors' practical experiences on MGs, electric network monitoring, control design, and power electronic systems. This important resource: Represents several MG modeling, dynamic analysis methodologies and control synthesis approaches that all are examined by real time simulations and experimental studiesCovers the MG hierarchical control levels including local, secondary, central/emergency, and global controls to ensure stable, reliable, secure, and economical operation in either grid-connected or islanded operation modeDiscusses new outcomes and advances in DC MGs, virtual

The MG structure, types, operating modes, modelling, dynamics, and control levels are covered. Recent advances in DC microgrids, virtual synchronousgenerators, MG planning and energy management are examined. A thorough discussion of the basic principles of the MG modeling and operating issues is provided. This book discusses relevant microgrid technologies in the context of integrating renewable energy and also addresses challenging issues. The authors summarize long term academic and research outcomes and contributions. The physical constraints and engineering aspects of the MGs are covered, and developed robust and intelligent control strategies are discussed using real time simulations and experimental studies.. In addition, this book is influenced by the authors’ practical experiences on microgrids (MGs), electric network monitoring, and control and power electronic systems
