Microgrids: Architectures and Control Nikos Hatziargyriou van is an English-language printed textbook aimed at professionals in the electricity sector. It covers the technical aspects of microgrids, with emphasis on architectures and control.
This book provides an in-depth analysis of microgrids, including their operational concepts, advanced architectures, and control strategies. It discusses both centralized and decentralized control, design issues, protection, and regulatory frameworks. In addition, practical case studies from Europe, America, Japan, and China are presented. The author also highlights the social, economic, and environmental-technical benefits of microgrids within distribution networks and small communities.
Key topics include, among others, market and regulatory aspects, technical solutions for maximizing the value of distributed energy, and the criteria for development frameworks. This reference work is an essential source for electrical engineers working with medium- and low-voltage systems, grid operators, researchers, and academics.
