Microgrids: Theory and Practice is ideal as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in power engineering programs, and a valuable reference for power industry professionals looking to address the challenges posed by microgrids in their work. The most comprehensive,authoritative and widely cited reference on photovoltaic solar energyFully revised and updated,the Handbook of Photovoltaic Science and Engineering,Second Edition incorporates the substantial technological advances and research developments in photovoltaics since its previous. Microgrids are interconnected groups of energy sources that operate together, capable of connecting with a larger grid or operating independently as needed and network conditions require. They can be valuable sources of energy for geographically circumscribed areas with highly targeted energy. This book focusses on planning to practice aspects of microgrids. It covers basics, power electronics converters topologies, storage systems technologies, and control aspects. The book includes sections on AC, DC and hybrid AC/DC microgrids and reflects state-of-the-art developments, covering theory.
