Microgrid Methodologies and Emergent Applications [EPUB ebook] 

Microgrid Methodologies and Applications provides step-by-guide guidance on the implementation of microgrids projects that is informed by current scientific principles, emergent technologies such as modern power electronic interfaces, energy storage systems, multi-vector energy systems, and a close study of recent case studies. Addressing the full end-to-end microgrid project lifecycle, the work encompasses planning, design, operation, control, trading and evaluation, with a significant focus on novel business model, regulation and policy considerations. The book explains to readers how they can operationalize robust microgrids which account for engineering reality, uncertainties, and operating constraints. It delivers precise and rigorous real case studies for project managers, designers and policy and decision-makers. The methodologies section provides step-by-step guidance on implementing projects for postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners, while the applications section provides an array of demonstrative ‚case studies which exemplify the use of optimal methods and leading-edge technologies. – Provides step-by-step guidance on the design, operation, control, trading and evaluation of microgrid projects- Demystifies real-world project experience through the evaluation of successful case studies, novel data analysis and comprehensive evaluation rather than cumbersome mathematical formulations- Combines theoretical and practical insights, serving to bridge gaps between theory and engineering operations, control and decision-making- Reviews state-of-the-art topics including business models, trading strategies, pricing, regulatory standards and policy recommendations poised to profoundly affect local energy transitions and utilization of microgrids
