Explore a comprehensive analysis and discussion of emerging technologies in AC/DC/Hybrid microgrids from two leading voices in the field
Integrated Distribution Systems with AC/DC/Hybrid Microgrids delivers a thorough treatment of the foundational technologies and background knowledge required in the field of AC/DC/hybrid microgrids, as well as modern technical advances and emerging technologies in this area. The focus of the book is on the planning, control, and operation of integrated distribution systems with AC/DC/hybrid microgrids.
The distinguished engineers and authors describe a combination of power electronic and power system technologies in the context of microgrids and introduce the siting and capability design of distributed energy resources and microgrids with hybrid energy storage units. They discuss the optimal placement of measurement devices, like micro-phasor measurement units, to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of distribution visibility. Elaborating on the overall control hierarchy, the book also explores operational aspects and impact analyses between multiple microgrids and the distribution management system. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:
- A thorough introduction to a concept of integrated distribution systems and microgrids, including the evolution of power system architecture and the integration of distributed energy resources
- An exploration of AC/DC/Hybrid microgrids in integrated distribution systems, including the architecture of AC and DC microgrids, the integration of AC and DC hybrid sub-grids
- An examination of the planning of integrated distribution systems with microgrids, including the siting of distributed energy resources and microgrids
- Discussions of the control of AC/DC/hybrid microgrids in integrated distribution systems
Perfect for researchers and engineers working with grid integration of renewable energy, Integrated Distribution Systems with AC/DC/Hybrid Microgrids will also earn a place in the libraries of students and faculty studying electrical engineering and focusing on renewable energy and microgrids.
