ABOUT THIS BOOK
Microgrids are essential components of next-generation energy grids. A microgrid is a local, integrated energy system comprising interconnected loads and distributed energy resources; they can represent urban or rural districts, islands or local communities. Microgrids can operate in parallel with the main grid or independently in an intentional island mode. When on-site generation is included, intelligent buildings can also function as microgrids. Efficient optimization and control algorithms are crucial for ensuring optimal microgrid performance, making them a continuous focus of research and development in the field of power systems.
