power engineers and
developers. Compared
with ac microgrids, dc
microgrids have lower
losses and reduced operating and capital costs.
Microgrid Dynamics and
Control presents the
means of integrating a
dc microgrid with the
existing grid.
As installations of
inverter-based variable
energy resources increase, the system's inertia
decreases. The dynamic
response problem is further exacerbated by rotating mass distributed energy resources
that have very little inertia and exhibit

poor damping in response
to system events. This
book includes a method
to create virtual synchronized machines using
energy storage devices
and discusses applying
these virtual machines
for stability and regulation support, including control mechanisms
and models.
Microgrid Dynamics
and Control thoroughly discusses successfully
planning and implementing microgrids. Techniques for operating and
controlling microgrids are described,
including the use of fuzzy logic, artifi-

cial neural networks, genetic algorithms,
and other types of analyses. Emergency
control and load-shedding techniques to
maintain a microgrid's reliability are given.
Overall, this very compressive book
is suitable for experienced power system
engineers who are involved with designing and analyzing microgrids. Graduate
students who are taking a course in microgrids also would be well served by this
book. An easy read, Microgrid Dynamics
and Control presents modeling principles
and solution techniques that can be readily applied. It is an excellent reference for
power system engineers and students who
are interested in learning techniques to
operate and control a microgrid.
