Next-Generation Microgrids

Next-Generation Microgrids: Components, Control Algorithms, and Design guides engineers
or students through the design, control, and operation of microgrids, integrating cutting-edge
techniques and technologies with pragmatic implementation advice. This book begins by
breaking down the fundamental principles of microgrid technology, before detailed discussions
on microgrid design and the integration of distributed energy resources. Subsequent chapters
investigate optimization, energy storage systems, advanced power electronics, and critical
power quality enhancement strategies. Using a multidisciplinary approach that includes practical
questions such as regulatory guidance and communication and networking technology, the
book provides everything a reader needs to maximise the sustainability impact of microgrids.
Bridging the gap between fundamental concepts and advanced practical applications, ‘Next Generation Microgrids’ is an essential resource for the students, researchers, and industry
professionals responsible for developing and implementing this technology in the grids of the
future.
