Summary
The utility sector’s transition to renewable energy and the smart grid
has already begun. The first step towards smart grid is microgrid,
which is a smaller electricity grid with access to all the essential
assets of a larger grid. This book provides a glimpse into an actual
microgrid project. It supplies a system-level approach to the design
of smart microgrids, covering the entire design process—from road-
map to realization. Detailing lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid
in microgrid technology, the book provides an interdisciplinary
approach to design and problem solving for smart microgrids.
